Trinity
/ Klamath Rivers 6-18-09
The 2009 salmon has started. We are looking
forward to a good season. Please make
sure you have your dates now. We are
going to be very busy. The Klamath had
been seeing a good number of springers and
steelhead coming in. The Trinity has
just started and will only get better with the
lower water flow this season. I have
almost finished my summer project. The
drift boat was refinished and is ready to
go. Fish On!!!

The striper action has been tough with the
weather hot, then cold. Wednesday it was
97 and Friday we needed jackets and
hats. The fields for rice have started
flooding and the water has dropped. The
stripers are in small groups in the Colusa
area. We have been drifting live
minnows. I still have dates
open.

Trinity River /Sacramento
/ Whiskeytown/ Klamath 4-1-09 The steelhead action is almost done for the
Trinity. We worked for our fish this
year. We got the needed salmon and
steelhead eggs at the hatchery. I am
changing gears into Striper and Kokanee
fishing. Striper are just starting in
the Colusa area. Our salmon season is
going to big again next year. I have
very limited time on the Klamath and open
dates. Please do not wait to get your
dates on the books.

Thursday we went 1 for 3, landing a nice 5 lbs
steelhead. Today we went 2 for 4 landing
a nice fresh 8lbs steelhead and a 5 lbs down
runner. We were the only boat on our
drift. I am off to the boat show on
Sunday and then back on the water on Monday.

3-05-09 The river dropped back into shape late
Tuesday. I know we got some much needed
rain. I went 2 for 3 today and hope the
numbers will improve with better
weather. The creeks will start seeing
the wild steelhead move up them. The
talk for the salmon season on the Klamath and
Trinity looks great. I will be very busy
again. Please make sure to have your
2009 salmon dates NOW !!!!!. I will be
on the Klamath Aug and Sept. Trinity

March 15th at the Boat Show talking about
kokanee. I hope to see you there.
