I'm going to the beautiful Trinity River Nov 10-11, to try my luck at flyfishing for Steelhead.....this will be my 1st time and am really in need of some pointers,tips or anything else you may want to share about fishing this river. I fished for Steelies in Alaska but this will be an oppurtunity of a lifetime for me at this river, so I'm very excited. I won't be using a spey rod just my 5 wt. nymphing or streamers..... I know..I know.... 5wt. is too light, but, that's all I have at the moment...... I guess what is more revelent is fly patterns. I hear that black and purple colors work well??
I have an inflatable 11ft Seahawk boat so that may be helpful(hopefully), I know of Rush Creek boat access which I'll give that area a try, but that's about all..... I imagine drift fishing would be a plus vs. wading, I just don't know what areas would be productive or worth my wild.
Thanks, I appreciate any info if you'd like to share or you can PM me. Thanks again......
UPDATE: A friend will be lending me his 7wt. 10'....so looks like I'm styling! Hopefully!!
