🎣 Trinity River Steelhead Report — Featuring Guide Justin Thompson

The Trinity River continues to fish well this week as fresh winter steelhead push through the system. Cooler overnight temps and rain have bumped flows just enough to keep fish on the move, and the river is running with that perfect green tint we all hope for this time of year. Anglers drifting smaller egg patterns and soft beads in the softer tailouts are getting into some nice fish, also running mag lips by Yakima bait are a great steelhead plug for back trolling, also try wrapping a small piece of shrimp 🦐 on the belly of the plug, only need a small piece that way you don’t effect the way the plug swims, also # 50 hot shots are deadly plug in silver, gold or all blk with silver specks called the Micheal Jackson plug.

What is consistent on the river right now? Justin Thompson is putting clients on fish.
