After
a long wet spring of high flows and low counts the
salmon action is picking up on the Trinity river.
The spring run salmon are kegged up in the holes
around Burnt Ranch and at the Falls of the middle
river in some of the best numbers of the past three
to 4 years.. Guide Steve Huber reports that bankies
are doing very well in the middle river with lots of
reports of limits of fat springers averaging 8 to 15
pounds with some pushing 20. Steve says most are
taking roe. He has been switching from drifting the
upper Trinity river and weekend jaunts to the lower
Klamath. On the upper Trinity Steve says they are
getting a few early run steelies and the occasional
german brown. On the Klamath he has been working
spinners at first light from the Glen to Blue Creek
for 1 to 3 salmon per day.
The spring
run is winding down on the Klamath but we should see
the summer run steelies hit the river in mid July
and the first fall run salmon push in during early
August.
Guide Steve Huber will be running lower Klamath Springer trips and
will also be working the lakes of the upper Trinity
for Kokanee and trout. His fall run salmon trips
begin in mid early August and he has room but his
calendar is quickly filling.
