The Trinity River, the principal tributary of the Klamath River, stretches 165 miles through the Klamath Mountains and coastal ranges, creating an ideal habitat for Fly Fishing. This river, covering a watershed of nearly 3,000 square miles in Trinity and Humboldt Counties, is renowned for its prolific runs of Chinook Salmon and Steelhead, offering a rewarding Fly Fishing experience that has been integral to the livelihood of native people for millennia. In the present day, the Trinity River serves as a crucial water source for the thriving agribusiness in the Central Valley, while also standing as a hub for Northern California recreation. This includes gold panning, white water rafting, hiking, scenic camping along its shores, and of course, Fly Fishing. The Trinity River is also home to the Trinity River Hatchery, known for providing a healthy annual hatchery Steelhead return. Anglers fortunate enough to land a hatchery fish during their Fly Fishing adventure will savor the fine table fare, a reward that complements what many regard as “the fly fishing experience of a lifetime”. Offering fall, winter, spring, and summer runs, this river is a perfect spot for Fly Fishing almost all year round. So, gear up for the most memorable Fly Fishing experience on the Trinity River, where every cast brings you closer to nature’s bounty.

The Lower Sacramento River Rainbow is the base standard of what a wild Rainbow Tout is. The Lower Sacramento River is cold and pure, full of insects. No stressful winters reducing insect hatches to nil. Nope. There are insect hatches all spring, summer, and fall. And in the winter, the Rainbows of the Lower Sacramento eat BWO’s, Salmonfly Nymphs, Eggs, Salmon Fry, and the large volume of midges this river doles out. If you are having a tough fly fishing day on the Lower Sacramento, it’s probably because your flies or lures aren’t in the water long enough or the river flows have come up as they do in the spring (typically June).
