IT IS WHAT IT IS (Straight from the Line-ups)
Trinity Fly Shop | Currents: AKA Herbies Blog Nov 12, 2019 | 22:36 pmA 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.

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.

Trinity Fly Shop | Currents: AKA Herbies Blog Aug 7, 2019 | 20:14 pmHard 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.

Trinity Fly Shop | Currents: AKA Herbies Blog Jul 11, 2019 | 22:53 pmIt’s been awhile and despite any rumors, we’re still here and, for the most part, operating in full stride.

Trinity Fly Shop | Currents: AKA Herbies Blog Feb 11, 2019 | 23:24 pmAfter 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 […]

Trinity Fly Shop | Currents: AKA Herbies Blog Nov 19, 2018 | 17:13 pmThere seems to be a lot of mixed steelheading chatter going around this fall from anglers and surprisingly a few guides indicating the TR has not produced up their expectations.
