Trinity Fishing
The Trinity River is home to a fantastic array of fish, including salmon, steelhead, German brown trout and rainbow trout.
Lewiston Lake and Trinity Lake offer excellent fishing as well, and the tributaries are also very popular.
Winter is big steelhead time for the Trinity and it draws fishers from all over. Of all of the species in the Trinity, steelhead are the most challenging so come prepared. Spring and summer fishing is affected by the annual river flow increase from Trinity dam. The dates and release flows vary annually and the river blows out for a while, but rainbow and German brown trout and late steelhead are in there. Summer-early fall fishing includes rainbow trout, German Brown trout and salmon. Contact the guides and other resources farther down on this page for information on what works and what doesn't.
For fishers new to the area, especially the Trinity, we can't say this firmly enough: Go with a guide at least once to learn about the basics for our waters. You might always choose to fish with a guide after that, or you may do what many of our guests do, which is to fish afterward on their own. Nobody has ever told us they didn't get a lot out of a guided trip, nor that they felt the money was wasted. It's not.
Check out these recommended guide services:
Trinity Fly Shop: A true original. Owned by Herb and Pat, his wife, who ties beautiful flies. Located on Lewiston Road about a mile and a half from us. 530.623.6757. Darren is their guide and his respect for the river and fish is legendary. It may be tricky getting a slot with him, but nobody knows this river better.
Steve's Trinity Guide Service:
Several guests use Steve's and really speak well of him. He's been here a long time and he really knows his stuff. His wife, Terri, is also a Trinity County original and we're thrilled they have recently relocated to Lewiston not far from us. Call (530) 623-2112 or email: Steve@trinityfishing.com
Mark Papazian owns Western Waters Guide Services

Ask if you need to bring your dog in order to release fish. (Don't miss the picture on his guide profile. Holy Moly.)

There are a lot of different approaches to fishing, so it makes sense there are all kinds of guides out there.
It's important to use guides who have permits for our waters.

A FEW COMMENTS FROM GUESTS
"The trip was awesome! Drifted 20 miles of river in two boats. Saw lots of river and beautiful country; 29 steelhead.
We really enjoyed the cabin. Had a good dinner and played some poker. Usually we book a hotel, but this was so much better.
We all have stressful jobs, and just sitting on the porch was very relaxing. I can't wait for salmon season. Thank you very much." Henry Trudell/Vallejo, CA

"Hi Guys, I just wanted to say thanks for letting us stay at Alpen Glow this weekend.
Our group had a fantastic time, and we were fortunate to catch a few steelhead on the river as well.
Please see attached a few pictures on the river, and one of the two hatchery steelhead we kept for dinner.
Unfortunately, I'm already back in NYC. It was just a quick weekend jaunt for Fri-Sun., but well worth the trip!
With any luck, we’ll be back sooner than later." John Brittain/NY, NY
