Trinity river fishing for salmon has really been tough this week, however a few steelhead have been hooked and have saved some really tough fishing trips. Many salmon are in the Trinity river from Lewiston to Del Loma are mostly dark and old salmon and are definately not biting well. There are thousands upon thousands of salmon smolts in the Trinity river making fishing roe almost impossible. A mix of both hatchery and wild steelhead are scattered throughout the Trinity river from Douglas City downriver through the Hoopa valley. Most are in the five to seven pound class with some in the low teens. Frank Main hooked a nice eleven pound hatchery steelhead while out with professional guide service's Dave Jacobs on the Trinity river this last week. Backbouncing small hot shots was the best bet for steelhead. Two to four hook-ups a day was the norm while Trinity river steelhead fishing. Trinty river salmon guides are backbouncing sardine wrapped kwikfish for most salmon hook ups as most roe is quickly taken by the clouds of smolts. 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 salmon season from November 1st to December 31st from Red Bluff diversion dam downstream to Knight's Landing as reported by Sacramento river salmon guides.
