The Trinity River in northern CA is home to one of the most productive and prolific steelhead and salmon fisheries in all of California and arguably the west… and I don’t use these superlatives lightly.
It is probably my favorite river here locally and one that I spend many, many days per year fishing, personally, and guiding, professionally. I have hooked steelhead in this river system 10 months out of the year July through April.
My favorite months to fish this river are September - March for steelhead… and July - September for Chinook salmon (as of 2023 salmon season is closed)
