Summer & Winter Activities For The Whole Family

Angling Activities:

Directly behind the Inn is the “Flyfishing Only” section of the Trinity River. You'll find a rich variety of catch here, including brown trout (both sea-run and resident), steelhead (summer and winter runs), and summer and winter king salmon. Our “Flyfishing Only” section will surely be a treat to any angler worth his or her salt.

Fish at Lewiston Lake

Lewiston Lake is five minutes down the road from our inn. It is actually a wide spot in the river with clear and constant cold flows and the same hatches which appear on the river proper. The lake has a large population of rainbow and brook trout. Anglers also have a chance to land one of the huge resident browns residing in the lake.

Scenic Fishing Streams and River Branches

Within a half-hour drive of our location is a myriad of streams and river branches that are not only incredibly scenic, but are lightly fished as well. The well marked trails and paths of our location will allow the adventurous guest to explore some of the most beautiful wilderness this country has to offer. So bring your line and light tackle and have a blast on your own stream.

Nearby fishing: Trinity River fishing starts with our spring run Salmon season in June. July and August are the best months for these big king (Chinook) Salmon. Back trolling plugs or back bouncing Roe are proven methods for fishing these beauties. September is when our fall run King Salmon arrive followed closely by our fall Steelhead and a fall run of Coho Salmon. The Trinity also has a nice Brown trout population we can target all year, some of these guys get over 10 lbs. We fish for King Salmon until the first of November with October being the combo month where we fish for Steelhead and Salmon on the same trip. The arrival of the Steelhead in October is the beginning of our fly fishing season.

The Trinity River is located in Northwest California 40 miles west of interstate 5 on highway 299 west. The old stagecoach town of Weaverville attracts many with a flair for antiques, gold mining, whitewater rafting and a touch of the “old west”. Junction City is 8 miles west of Weaverville on highway 299. When you leave the interstate slow down and enjoy Trinity County, one of California’s best kept secrets. The half million acre Trinity Alps Wilderness Area can be seen from highway 299 looking north and the crystal clear Trinity River flows along the highway for miles.

Fly-fishing in the streams flowing from the Alps offers some of the finest freestone streams in the world. As the river flows out of Lewiston Lake into the world-famous fly-fishing section (catch and release) one encounters German Browns, Steel head and Rainbow in great abundance. The spring and fall King salmon runs will thrill any angler. Excellent fishing guides are available to help you obtain the "catch of the season" for the beginner through the expert. Classes are also available on casting and fly tying.
