Pyramid Lake, The Coast, and Plumas County

Where Have I Been and What’s Been Going On? The Trinity River bumped up to 3,500 CFS, and the Lower Sac blew the hell out as well, so I was basically out of work. Which is fine, because it gave me time to fish and catch up on life. I still have a lot of […]
Fishing Report February 5th & 6th…better ever than never…..or something like that

Fishing Report February 5&6…better ever than never…..or something like that Is this the final Trinity report of the 24’/25’ season? Hard to say but as I type this, a storm is crashing into Lewiston and the river is blasting at 3500 CFS. We had a storm hit the weekend of February 1-3, and I was […]
Winter is coming…maybe. January 23-27th, 2025

Winter is coming…maybe. January 23-27th, 2025 Often, I wake up and I think, “Where is my mind?” That has nothing to do with steelhead fishing but just life in general. Then I have coffee, have a poop, look at Charlie, then remember that I have a job to do. Row someone down this sacred place […]
And now steelhead season is here…Trinity River January 13-22, 2025

Two days off! YEAH! I am in bed. Sorta warm-ish. I had some quail show up on the property this morning and I tried to put my new pellet gun to work, I failed but my feet got really cold! It’s been in the 20’s the past few days every morning. Popped the pipe in […]
Surfs Up on the Trinity River January 7-13, 2025

My neck hurts. My back hurts. It’s cold. The river is high(1500cfs) and clear. There are a shit ton of boats and my shower was broken yesterday. This job sucks. So you want to guide huh? Haha, just kidding but not really. Like a dumb ass. I scheduled too many days this next 6 weeks […]
Oh and I forgot this one…Dec 4th 2024 Trinity River

Well in all the madness of ending a small stint on the Trin and then going to MagBay, I had forgotten to write a report before I left and after I came back from MagBay. It was with my good friend Julia and her friend Gwynne. “Gu-when” like “cuando” in Spanish. I have a hard […]
MagBay and Trinity River Pre-Synchronized Storm Event Flows Report

My last report was written December 6th, since then, I’ve been to MagBay, ate chocolate clams, recorded a podcast, got severe carpel tunnel, taken a lot of shits, and got to fish the Trinity River. I’d say it was a good December. It’s December 26th today and I wish you Happy Holidays and a belated […]
Trinity River – November 30-December 6 – WINTER IS COMING!

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. Looking like it shows up December 13th and is around for a few days. I don’t know how much rain we are […]
November 25 & 26 – Trinity River

Jimmy and Gary. Two rad dudes booked for two days to get some “fake” steelhead at the start of the Thanksgiving week after the Bomb Cyclone storm. The storm had bumped the flows a lot so the boys couldn’t have timed it any better as we were fishing a drop. Nice to have some fish […]
November 13-18, 2024 – Trinity River

What a week! Just a little bit of rain and wow, the fishing was on fire. Brad showed up when the first good rain hit this fall season and couldn’t have timed it any better. Thank you Brad for the support. He is one of my Quincy homies so I am stoked we finally got […]
