I guided Burt and John Saturday on the upper Trinity, there's a fresh push of dime bright 2-3lb. Steelhead in the upper river right now. What these fish lack in size they make up for in there willingness to take a well presented dry fly. Late February into early March is an ideal time to take both Brown's and Steelhead on the dry fly on the Trinity. 

There is also a push of larger Steelhead into the Lower river, most of these fish will not run very high into the system, spawning in the main stem or lower tributaries. This is big water even with low flows i.e. Spey water, there will be opportunities to hook Steelhead in the lower Trinity well into April as long as the flows remain low. This is a LOW numbers game with high rewards!

Fresh Steelhead continue to enter in to the North Coast streams and will do so into the closure at the end of March.   

I fished with Ted and Tyler on the Lower Sac on Sunday, the nymph grab was solid thru-out the day. Most of the rainbows were in the 16" - 18" range with one that broke Tyler off "Freight Train" style, making 8lb. test flouro look like 6X tippet.

There's still time to chase Steelhead, Lewiston lake is coming on with warmer temps and the Lower Sac is fishing very well with solid nymphing and dry fly action on many afternoons.

Check my schedule and book at day or two, the best reports are the ones you make yourself!
