8/21-24 Trinity River, Lewiston Lake

Went fishing with my wife's cousin Paul for a a few days near Lewiston.  Fished two and a half days on the Trinity River casting roe for nary a bite. Saw a couple of dark salmon roll but that was it. Paul tried nightcrawlers to entice a trout but nothing. 
For the last day we went to Lewiston lake for a few hours in the afternoon and finally had some luck.  I took my Outback out for the virgin fishing trip and caught some nice 11-12" rainbows trolling a small spoon with a nightcrawler.  Kept four, released a couple and a few escaped at the kayak because I forgot to bring the net. Paul caught a few from shore with salmon eggs.
Tomorrow they increase the release from Trinity Lake into the river from 450 cfm to 2800 cfm to help the Fall run salmon in the Klamath river survive. Should make for some good salmon fishing in the Klamath and Trinity this fall

Thanks for the report OldFart!  Sounds like the kings are flooding in through the mouth, I've developed a nervous twitch in anticipation!

Thanks for the report. I recently made my virgin fishing trip on my Outback also. I caught some rockfish and lingcod.

 Looks like we have some Outback lovers. I've been fishing mine for 3 yrs. and wouldn't fish anything else. I fish Shelter Cove mostly but thinking I'm going to take a trip to Whiskey Town and Lewiston.
