Jeff K of Live Oak Ca with a nice hatchery buck. Jeff and Pat L of San Jose (pictured below) enjoyed some good late season fishing.
These 4 photos are from 2 great days I spent with Cris and Clayton. We got lucky and fished the river as it was dropping and steelhead green after last stom. My clients hooked over 70 fish all together during the week after our last rain. It looks like rain is on the way and if you are looking for one more steelhead trip, now is the time, unsettled weather on the way and about 1 more month of steelhead on the Trinity. Browns are here and should fish well all spring. Here are some more photos of the fishing this last week.
Chris G of Carmel CA with a few dandy Trinity fish. SWEET!!!!!!!!!!

One of my regulars, Matt the man Mueller from San Jo with one of his Jc fish. Way to make it happen!!!
A fun pic of the only steelhead landed on a day with Jeff from oregon and Sean fromm sonora ca. The catching was rough but the fishing was great!! I had more fun with these two guys on a rough day and I think they came away learning alot about deadrifting nymphs for steelhead. I cant wait to get these guys out when its ON!!!
All I can say is AWESOME!!! Here is a shot of Laura and Gary Ecklin of Napa ca with Laura's biggest steelhead of here short flyfishing career. These folks fish hard and like to have fun. My kind of people. We have not been getting very many fish a day the last few weeks' but they have been quality fish. Great job Laura!!!!!!!
Happy Stan Ross with what I believe is the largest steelhead caught by a client in my boat on the upper Trinity yesterday Jan 12 2013. It was about 33" and I estimate close to 15lbs. It was a battle to behold and made my whole season. He fished hard for 2 days and was rewarded in the end way to go Stan!!!!!! Here is a shot his brother Joel below. I had a blast guys, thank you!!!! The catching is rough onb the Trinity right now, but the rewards can be great. I have heard there are a bunch of steelhead working their way through the lower klamath right now, all we need is RAIN!!!!!!!! Lets go fishing Travis
Things are linning up well here on the Trinity. After about a week of rain the river is on the drop. I'm going to be fishing bait and plugs for a few days going after the big boys, then it will be back to fly fishing. Plenty of fish in the river right now, should be great the next couple weeks. This is what we steelheaders wait for, big storm , river blows out, then it's on. Give me a call, before you read all the great reports to come, let's go mak'em.. Travis
Nice work Scott!!
Jeff Kettleson releasing a sweet native!!
Greg Linehan hooking it up!!!!!!
Fall is here and the shorts and sandals have been put away. Time to bust out the gore tex and put the heaters in the boat. Fishing has been decent, fish counts out of Willow Creek are dropping, and I think they will keep doing so until we get a good shot of rain. We got a little a few days ago but not enough to raise or color up the river. The smolts have PRETTY much worked their way down the river, but now there are as many flyfishermen around as there were smolts a week ago!! It is good to see people out doing what they enjoy and the vibe has been good on the river. The Trinity river guide scene has been going through some growing pains the last few years , but things are on the mend. I think everyone should just treat people they way they would like to be treated and all will be good. Give people a little space and respect and good things happen, if nothing else you may just make a friend out there. There was a good push of steelhead and salmon that came up the river with those high flows we had in aug and sept, but the have spread out and we could use some rain, been catching 5 to 10 salmon a day with a steelie mixed in here and there. Then fall mornings are beautiful and its nice not to be getting hot during the day, give me a call, LET'S GO FISHING Travis
It's on. Fall run is showing up and so are the steelhead. Hope you can make it up this year, looking to be off(or on ) the hook. Travis

The spring run of chinook salmon is moving through the Trinity River. There is good to great fishing to be had from Bucktail to the Mouth. No kidding, I have had great reports from all areas of the Trinity. If all the forcasts are correct it should remain this way through the fall run. Roe seems to be bettter than plugs right now but plug fishing will improve as the river drops and the fish start stacking up. We had one on our salmon camps this month a few late july days left, plenty of august dates left and if you want to get in on this great run of fish give me a call!!!! Here are some recent photo's.
Matt M on our way to camp.

It's now official, you know who to call for a good time on the Trinity!!!
Still some nice steelhead around!!!
The brown trout have been showing up in good numbers this year. They are waiting for the smolt release and are hungry.Stoneflys and pt's are great flys for browns and worms, spoons and minnow imitations are good bets for spin fishermen. The Trinity is a blast right now and nobody is around!!!
This is how big browns can get on the Trinity!! Here is my nephew Brad Dillard with a 12.2 lb brown caught last spring.Look how big the pectoral(front) fins are on this piggy!!
They are forcasting 1.6 million salmon returning to the Klamath Trinity system. Even if they are half right we are in for a treat this year. Book now to get prime dates!!!
30lb Trinity river king salmon, Let's go fishing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
