Trinity river 10/19

Hit the trinity today for the first time in over a year. Finally caught a steelhead. It was a 20" bright chrome fish. Lost one other about that size. My buddy that I was with caught two in the 20" range and lost one that was much bigger. He also caught a 16" brown. Water was low and clear. River got pretty busy by late morning. Saw quite a few salmon still moving through.

If you dont mind me asking, what section of the river were you fishing?

We fished down below the north fork.

Thanks! Just the info I needed. Im thinking of trying to get up there ASAP. I fished it a few weeks ago in the del loma area, but its sounds like fish are movin on up.

On rivers that you can drive along, like the Klamath or Trinity, just keep driving upstream or down stream till you see parked cars, drift boats or rolling steelhead.

You can quickly sample all the good looking water, but keep moving till you find fish.

We got on the river right at day break. It was overcast and cool until mid morning. I was loving it. Fished a lot of water for the ones we caught. Once the sun broke out it got warm and we didn't catching anything else.

I fished the Trinity on Monday in the Del Loma area, we didn't catch anything but we did start seeing a few fish which is more than I can say for the previous four trips in October. As Josh said there a few fish around but they are scattered and you have to work for them.
