Trinity River Steelhead Fishing Report

Captain Justin has been fishing the Trinity River daily and the fishing is excellent! He’ll be running trips through February 2023. November and December dates are sold out but there is still availability in January and February.

The Trinity River got a good shot of snow/rain this week and the steelhead fishing has improved dramatically. Numerous steelhead are being hooked due to the light fishing pressure and an increase in flows below the tributaries. Captain Justin is primarily using spin gear but when the water is clear, fly fishing is a solid option as well. Either way the ultra light tackle is a blast to catch these steelhead on.

Beautiful Trinity River steelhead!

The lower river saw some good numbers of steelhead this summer so we’re expecting some great fishing this winter, especially if we keep getting wet weather. This steelhead fishery is little known by most and definitely sits quietly among the guides here in the Redding area for the most part. This trip is getting more and more popular with our clients ad it won’t be too many years before Captain Justin books the entire season making it impossible for new clients to get a chance to fish this great river for steelhead with him. Call Jaynie at (530) 510-2925 for more information and available dates before its too late. Thank you!
