I cant imagine better weather to winter steelhead in...I feel like I'm still in New Zealand!  The only issue is that there aren't many fish to catch on the Trinity.  They are really spread out, and the river is crystal clear.  There is no rain in the local forecast, so the fishing will continue to be pretty tough until a significant rain event.  At least the weather is superb, and very low angling pressure on the Trinity.  Hey, it's winter steelheading, so the only way you can catch one is to get out there and try...but I'm heading to the Coast, and so should you if you want a better shot at a fresh winter steelhead. 

 

There are more fish around on Northern California and Southern Oregon coastal rivers, but we need rain over there too.  I am heading over to the coast today, and will be exploring and guiding coastal rivers in Southern Oregon and Nor Cal for the month of February into March.  Spey casting, soul searching, and steelheading....life is good.

 

If you really need to catch a fish right now, head over to Eagle Canyon and get it out of your system...I know they are in there!
