Steelhead, Trinity

[kylgrn]

Hey all,

I'm itching to try my hand at catching a steely this year, I primarily fish various streams in the Sierra's for trout. I want to plan some kind of multi-day trip to the Trinity or Rogue (shady cove?) this winter to do some spey casting for steelhead. I would love to either join a group already planning (or have an annual trip) to go, or just plain see if anyone might be interested. I am new to steelhead fishing and two handed rods, I had a couple lessons from Mr. Lowe himself but haven't gotten around to utilizing it much.

I'm looking for anyone to split lodging, ride share, or just good company I might be able to learn something from. I'm open to anything between October - December for a 2-3 day trip. I would prefer to to spend most the time learning to swing flies.

Kyle,
I could be into joining forces for a trip or two up north this fall. I pretty much only swing flies if I'm steelheading, though hardly from any sort of "purist" ethos or anything. It's just more fun for me. As far as lodging, I am usually a camping fan as it means that I can afford to take more trips

As far as learning anything from me, well I'm pretty much a novice myself but I can demonstrate some serious running line tangles now and again. I do manage to hook a steelhead or two when I happen to be standing in the middle of a good run at just that right moment...
Lemme know, I'm probably looking to start hitting the Rogue and North Umpqua as soon as I get back from my Alaska trip at the end of the month.

Jason,

Sounds like a good time, likewise I will PM you when I get back from Montana at the end of the month. I actually would prefer camping as well, granted I can park my truck someplace and use the camper shell

Are you still planning on this trip?

Thanks

I still need to sync up with Jason when he's back at the end of the month, after that we will know dates/location.

October is the best month for swinging flies for fall steelhead.

The water is not too hot and not too cold.

Sept 15 to Nov 15 is my window for fall steelheading.

Lower Trinity River = October

Middle Klamath River = October

Upper Rogue River = October

This is all floating line fishing for the most part.
