Pyramid Lake, The Coast, and Plumas County

Pyramid Lake, The Coast, and Plumas County

This past month has been a mix of high water, fishing adventures, and gearing up for a busy season. With the Trinity River dropping back to 2,000 CFS, I’m ready to start guiding again, while the Lower Sac is clearing up and looking promising. Pyramid Lake was a blast—some good fish, great company, and plenty of time spent staring at bobbers, but no monster catches this season. I also managed a quick coastal steelhead trip, reminding me how special those rivers are. Meanwhile, the Feather River has been on fire, and I’m excited to focus more on guiding there. With spring trips coming up, now’s the time to get out and fish—let’s go!

The rain is gone and the river is clear again. Flows are higher down river but that should change a bit and come back down until we get this next bout of rain. Fish are still eating and there are steelhead around.

Trinity River Fishing Report 11/3 & 11/4 2024
A great weekend with Eben, Isaac, Jacob, Asher and Max. They gave me the kids and the kids ripped! We landed some adults and caught a bunch of half pounders with some gold. The river is very pretty right now and so stoked to get these kids stoked on steelehead.
