TRINITY RIVER

July 11, 2010    Headlines
  Springers Show In Good Numbers


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.
