This rondy is an excellent opportunity for Walk-and Wade fly fishing for Steelhead on the Trinity River near Junction City, CA. Bill Corkery, a GGACC Member, knows the area well and can take up to 4 anglers on this two-day fishing trip. The opportunity exists to catch both adult and smaller (i.e. "1/2 pound") steelhead.
There are several options for how to fly fishing for steelhead on this wading trip: 1) Indicator nymph fishing with a 5-7wt single hand rod with floating line and Fluoro tippet (1X-4X) and split-shot below an indicator; 2) Swinging steelhead flies with a 6-8wt single hand rod and floating or intermediate head line and sink tips with short 8-12# mono tippet; or 3) Swinging flies with a 5-7wt Spey rod with floating or intermediate fly line & sink tips with short 8-12# mono tippet.
This Rondy is for experienced anglers ONLY and is NOT for current participants in the Learn to Fly Fish Program or other beginners.
We will be staying at a motel in Weaverville, CA. There will be a rondy pre-meeting at the clubhouse to discuss gear and the trip logistics -- date tbd.
The weather can be very cold. Bring multi-layers and good rain gear.
The fee for this Rondy is a non-refundable $25. In addition to providing all your own gear, flies, and waders, there will be additional expenses for getting your own motel room and all food, and of course, travel expenses.
