Fishing for Spring salmon on the Trinity River has been slow due to high river releases in the last two months as reported by Trinity river salmon guides. Flows will drop in the coming weeks and are to return to 450 cfs by the end of the month. Most fish being taken have been taken at Grays Falls and Burnt Ranch falls from bank fishermen. Recent fires in Northern California has made for poor air quality on the the Trinity. Most Spring salmon have moved through the lower Klamath river with a below average Spring salmon run this year being reported by Klamath river salmon guides. Steelhead, some in the mid teens, have been reported by Klamath river steelhead guides in the lower Klamath around Klamath Glen. Summer steelhead fishing should improve in the coming weeks. Flows are down below 7000 cfs and water temps are warming. This years quota is 22,500 salmon to begin in mid August. The Klamath and Trinity river's will be the only river's besides the Smith river that angler's can keep salmon on this season with the Sacramento river offering a very small season from November 1st to December 31st from Red Bluff diversion dam downstream to Knight's Landing.
