December 28th, Trinity River




Mike landed his first steelhead ever on November 13th, his son Kevin, did the same the following day. Ultimately, both fish left impressions that called them back to the Trinity for two more days on the water. Conditions seemed ideal as flows continued to drop from recent storms and overnight cloud cover kept morning temperatures warm. The river seemed renewed as steelhead rolled just above the launch and, throughout the day, dead drifts produced solid takes instead of twitches. Kevin found a buck in the first run, Mike took a hen at the take-out, with enough steelhead in between to prompt a couple of trout bums to ponder the reality of ever picking up four-weights again. On the drive out the discussion centered around the seasons of the Klamath and Rogue confirming the onset of two more cases of steelhead fever!
