Trinity River: Fishing the Trinity this week could be very hard what with all of the water in the river. The upper part of the Trinity from Lewiston to Douglas City (2,230cfs) could possibly clear by next weekend IF we don’t have more rain but for the lower parts of the Trinity you are looking at high muddy waters. The river at my house, below the South Fork, is muddy and clear over the river bar in front of my property and reading 35.4Kcfs in Hoopa.
