For the past week it has been good weather and the rivers have been dropping at a fairly steady rate. The Trinity has been looking good for the last couple of days and the river below South Fork has started to clear up. According to the latest weather report we can expect some more rain…
More rain and then some sunshine sounds great. This makes for more water storage, just what we need. One little thing, Governor Newson plans to try and add another 300,000 homes to California to try to help solve the housing shortage. Now add to that the 60,000 or more homes lost to the fires we…
I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving and was able to enjoy family together. We had a good rain last week. This last storm brought the Klamath Valley 3 to 5 inches of rain depending upon where you were. The good part is that it was enough rain to help the firefighters get control of…
Who did it? The different Guide Associations and Guides have been trying to get the U.S. Forest Service and the Lower Trinity Ranger district to fix the South Fork Sandy Bar Road for at least 10 years. Last week I had been asked, “Who graded the Sandy Bar Road and I could not answer the…
The weather has changed and we are definitely into fall weather. The water year for 2018 -02019 began October 1 and Willow Creek has received 0.9 inches of rain. On Oct. 3 Douglas City and Lewiston had a heavy rain cell come into their area and dropped 0.25 to 0.50 inches of rain that caused…
Yes, we have had some rain on the North Coast and some more inland. Saturday Sept. 29 it rained in Willow Creek and over on the coast in Eureka. We are still in the 2018 water year, the 2019/20 (water year starts Monday Oct. 1). It was not a hard rain but a nice wetting…
The weather here in Willow Creek has been HOT!! The weather forecast for the last week here in Willow Creek has been far from accurate. We have been having temperatures of 98 to 105 on my front porch for the last five days. So if W.C. is having this type of temperatures then what has…
Sorry about last week but I took the day off for Father’s Day and spent it with family. I have received many calls about what is happening with the fishing. To start off with we are now into full summer weather with temperatures in the 90s and up to 104 degrees. You can imagine what…
We are finally starting to see some Spring Chinook on the Trinity River. It has taken some time what with all of the flow changes that have been going on. The Bureau of Reclamation has been changing the releases from Lewiston Dam in a fashion more like nature used to do before the Dam. More like when…
The fishing industry is seeing new attacks from our legislators about fishing tackle and fishermen should be aware that if we don’t stand up as a group we will all suffer. How many lead items do you have in your tackle box? How many flies do you have that sink or are weighted? How much…
This Memorial Day is nice with sunshine and clear skies. We should take a minute to remember all those in the service serving our country and those who served our country but never made it home. I thank you for your moment. In the past Memorial Day weekend was the kickoff for all Trout fishing…
The month of May is going to see several water flow changes on the Trinity River. The releases are going to be fluctuating from 800cfs up to 1,700cfs with several drops and jumps in between. Memorial Day weekend releases will be 1,500cfs. These are releases from Lewiston Dam into the Trinity River but you must…
