OBJECTS OF DESIRE (ticking the bucket list)
Trinity Fly Shop | Currents: AKA Herbies Blog Jul 9, 2017 | 18:51 pm
Some of the best advice I have ever received from friends and clients during my 34 yrs. of guiding is “do it NOW- while you are able.” Too many, too often, have preached, “I am financially stable, have time on my side yet do not have my health.” So when I received the invite to […]

TRI-TIP & HEINEKIN TO BEAN WITH BEACON (Living the Dream)
Trinity Fly Shop | Currents: AKA Herbies Blog Mar 8, 2017 | 22:55 pm
Without a doubt all the rain and snow this past winter has been a blessing and great reprieve from one of the worst droughts in Ca history. However raging rivers, lakes exceeding capacities and monster snow packs, (185% above average) are conditions many guides have never witnessed, and winter isn’t over. Weeks of unforeseen cancellations […]

Something to Talk About (And Then Some)
Trinity Fly Shop | Currents: AKA Herbies Blog Feb 4, 2017 | 18:29 pm
It’s been awhile since Patty and I traveled through the Central Valley and, rebounding from a recent early morning road trip, was surprised to see the CV refreshed and very much alive. Most notably, water everywhere. Farmlands were all but flooded, threatening to breach check levies, and every creek, large and small (Putah-Thomes-Cottonwood etc.), refueled […]

The Perfect Storm (Possibly?)
Trinity Fly Shop | Currents: AKA Herbies Blog Jan 8, 2017 | 23:12 pm
Anyone that has traveled the lower Trinity River canyon, Hwy 96 below Willow Creek, and noticed the Cal Trans. sign (1964 High Water Mark) adjacent Big Rock Quarry generally slows down, or stops, amazed and even bewildered; the distance between the Trinity River and established 64 high water crest is all but unimaginable. It’s been […]

Just One More Cast (It’s all Good)

I wish we had a scream’n steelhead report to deliver, just not so. Since our last post the winter season snuck in early, bringing significant rains and snow in the mountains and activating healthy cold water fluctuations. The majority fall steelhead raced through, many already in the secondaries, and we are currently awaiting winter runs. […]

“Just like the old days,” is the comment many Trinity River anglers, familiar with the 70-80’s fishing, have referenced 2016 steelheading. Weeks of a stunningly beautiful Trinity fall landscape, screaming with colors and mystic, that generate exciting hype and fishing vibe, unseasonably mild Oct-Nov. weather patterns formulating primo river conditions, water temps pushing 52-53 degrees […]

WHAT YOU SEE IS WHAT YOU GET (2017 TR Steelhead Runs)
Trinity Fly Shop | Currents: AKA Herbies Blog Oct 16, 2016 | 22:41 pm
Straight from the lineups, the past several weeks have reflected below average steelhead returns and many new TR anglers or unfamiliar with anadromous fish cycles are questioning — where’s the beef. Previous years, by October, solid steelhead runs were in and crunching. Harsh reality, the past is history so savior the memories. This is 2016 […]
