Headed up to the Trinity over the weekend after hearing some remarkable reports. Fished my honey hole from last year all day Sat. without so much as a bump. The fish census guy checked in on me 4 times and he didn't have a lot to tell me from the other fishermen he checked. He did say that an Indian got 23 Salmon on Friday night at Tish Tang which he said was the largest count so far. JasonH met up with me for the last couple of hours on Sat.

Sunday we went back to the honey (less) hole for a couple of hours in the morning with no results. There were some fish moving through but we couldn't get them to open their mouths. Went to Tish Tang to check out that area for Jason, he is up there till Friday. Saw many Salmon moving up the riffle. Jason got a skinny 1/2#er and that was about it. The fish counter caught up with us and said a guy fishing just upstream of us at the honey hole had hooked up 4 times with nice Steelies on spinners. Hmmm? Oh well, I think the fish are ready to really get going very soon. Last year the Stellhead bite came on just as the salmon started moving through in big numbers, which I saw at Tish Tang. Jason called and said he hung 3 yesterday, a 3#, 6# he got to hand and lost a bright fish around 10#. I guess I should have stayed another day. The fish turned on last year like a switch for me and I'm hoping it's starting for Jason. We'll find out when he returns. That's about it, going to hit it again in a couple of weeks. Get ready guys!

Great report. I'm thinking of heading that way in the next week or two myself. I'm going to start on the Klamath at I-5 and head down river till I find fish.

The Klamath sounds like it is fishing pretty good right now. That means the "T" should be right around the corner. Good luck up there.

After last years carnage, I bet the fish have put up underwater signs at all your favorite spots, reading, " Caution! This area is frequented by MSP....Do not dawdle!!" :lol:

Really looking forward to your reports Mike :wink:

Fishing on the Klamath above the confluence with the Trinity has been Poor to Non-existent for the past six weeks, due primarily to low flows, high water temps and high algae content... probably will not improve until after first rains and temp drop.

That must be it Jay. :? Maybe I can get Jason to remove those signs before I go back. :D Looking forward to Jason's report. Sounded like he was getting into some.

Mike, as usual it was nice to fish with you on the Trinity. The fishing picked up a little but not too much. I think we might just have to head back up in a couple of weeks when i might pick up a little. Never got back to your hole. Everytime i went by there was always some other fly fisherman in it. Oh well, it owes us next time!
