OUR AIM IS TRUE (Last & Final Blog)
Trinity Fly Shop | Currents: AKA Herbies Blog Feb 28, 2020 | 21:31 pm
It’s been a while and despite any rumors, didn’t hock the shop or become mentally challenged, although some may disagree. We’re still around. In fact Pat and I are stoked to be back in Trinity, running the shop, pumping the oars and recharged after a long needed, off the grid, extended vacation. It’s been a […]

BEGINNING TO FEEL A LOT LIKE STEELHEADING (Summer 2 Winter)
Trinity Fly Shop | Currents: AKA Herbies Blog Dec 8, 2019 | 19:12 pm
Nothing like the first snow of the year to refuel the steelhead stoke and entice a fresh rotation; not to mention prime us for winter and elevate holiday spirits. A real head spin and adjustment. After months of abnormally dry, above average temperatures to unseasonably cold snowfall, the first significant storm of the fall season […]

IT IS WHAT IT IS (Straight from the Line-ups)
Trinity Fly Shop | Currents: AKA Herbies Blog Nov 12, 2019 | 22:36 pm
A dominating high pressure system parked off the west coast, for the past month, continues to deliver an Indian summer with unseasonably warm, above average, temperatures. The lack of rain, low flows, glassy conditions and, to date, marginal salmon-steelhead returns, have proved challenging for both fish and fisherman. After a promising and cool semi- wet […]

DO I STAY OR DO I GO (No Brainer)
Trinity Fly Shop | Currents: AKA Herbies Blog Oct 9, 2019 | 19:47 pm
“Is the fishing worth coming up,” is a question often delivered to us, each and every steelhead season that has never been a popular inquiry or made any sense to me personally, especially during the heat of late summer-fall steelhead runs. I’ll just mention maybe it’s better for some, those afraid of the odds and […]

ICY HOT (Get Wet for Relief and Stoke)
Trinity Fly Shop | Currents: AKA Herbies Blog Aug 7, 2019 | 20:14 pm
Hard to believe it’s already August and peak of summer. The past week temps hovered around the century mark and, without a doubt, fly fishing and wet wading favorite Trinity waters has been the best heat relief option, as long as you maintain depths below the buoys. Despite the heat, last winter-spring’s 148% snowpack, above […]

AVERTING OCCUPATIONAL HAZARDS – (Support & Buy Local)
Trinity Fly Shop | Currents: AKA Herbies Blog Jul 11, 2019 | 22:53 pm
It’s been awhile and despite any rumors, we’re still here and, for the most part, operating in full stride. However I should mention it’s odd, one day you wake up and you’re getting aced by a slew of mega who’s who, free this and discounted that on-line retailers. How’d that happen? Guess we simply don’t […]

FISH STORES TOLD HERE-SOME TRUE!!! (Flashbacks etc.)
Trinity Fly Shop | Currents: AKA Herbies Blog Apr 17, 2019 | 22:39 pm
In the event anyone else is blinded by the light, as comedian Brian Regan referenced, “the big yellow one is the sun”. Finally spring! Or is it? I realize it has been a while since my last post. Although I’m climbing the ladder a bit more slowly these days, this time, not my excuse. It’s […]

Challenging Currents (2019-Hopes, Dreams, Opportunities & Fresh Arrivals)
Trinity Fly Shop | Currents: AKA Herbies Blog Feb 11, 2019 | 23:24 pm
After closing the 2018 books Pat and I took a month off for some quality family time and long needed R&R. To put it mildly, last year the cookie didn’t crumble our way. The Carr fire was too close for comfort. Locking our house, TFS and evacuating, Pat and I thought the Carr might be […]

SPARSE SERVINGS (Scratching for Tidal Chinook)
Trinity Fly Shop | Currents: AKA Herbies Blog Dec 12, 2018 | 19:26 pm
It was after losing a shooting head to a coastal slab having his way with me, I got bit hard last year fly fishing for north coast chinook. My first outing I was lucky to hook up, feel the surging power, and not so lucky, as I realized my situation raced from bad to worse. […]
