Trinity River Fishing Report 1/28/2025

The Trinity River is a popular destination for steelhead fishing in Northern California. As of the latest reports, the steelhead season typically peaks from December through April, with the best fishing conditions often occurring after significant rainfall, which can boost river levels and encourage steelhead to migrate upstream.

Here are some key points to consider for steelhead fishing on the Trinity River:

1. **Water Conditions**: The river's flow and clarity are crucial for fishing success. Higher flows often mean better fishing, as steelhead tend to move more actively.

2. **Bait and Techniques**: Commonly used baits include salmon eggs, worms, and various artificial lures. Fly fishing with nymphs or streamers can also be effective, especially during the colder months.

3. **Location**: Popular fishing spots include the areas around the town of Weaverville, as well as sections closer to the confluence with the Klamath River.

4. **Regulations**: Always check the latest fishing regulations for the Trinity River, as they can change seasonally and may vary by specific locations within the river.

5. **Catch and Release**: Many anglers practice catch and release to help maintain steelhead populations, especially as they are a prized species.
