I spent a lot of time on Lake Trinity as a kid camping and water skiing. My Pops just loved it up there. When he retired he got out of the Bay Area as fast as he could and moved to Lewiston. Rush Creek ran right through his back yard. I was always a gear guy until around the turn of the century. One summer day I decided I wanted to fly fish. I went and saw Herb at the Trinity Fly Shop and he set me up with my first 5wt. A Cortland. Gave me a few casting tips on the lawn there, gave me a few flies and told me to go to the fly only waters. I landed at least a dozen fish and lost as many more. All in about 2 hours time. I had never been hooked up so often, ever! I was hooked! It is a very special place to me and I have started sharing it with my boys. I hope someday they realize how special this place is!
