Good Fish’en and Good Luck but remember:
“Keep your tip up with a tight line lands fish.”
It is all over the news about the fires; the Carr Fire has Hwy 299 closed and the Mendocino Complex has Hwy 20 closed; so it would be very hard to reach the Trinity River plus most of the upper part of the river is so smoky that you would have trouble finding your way […]

Read MoreThe 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 […]

Read MoreThis 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 […]
Read MoreI hope everyone had a great Mothers Day and those of you who do fish just maybe you had a great day of fishing. The last couple of weeks the water flows have been like a yo-yoing, up/down up/down and now they on their way back up again. These water flows are great for rafting […]
Read MoreThe 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 […]
