Your Trinity River Adventure Begins Here.

And a River Runs Through.

Indian Creek Lodge sits on a beautiful stretch of the Trinity River 30 minutes from downtown Redding. Best known as a headquarters for world class anadromous fishing, the lodge boasts many other attractions for guests year around.

Other adventures include rafting on the Trinity River, hiking, gold panning, lounging by the pool, barbequing, and horseshoes as well as salmon & steelhead fishing. Weaver Basin Trail system leads to historic mining and lumber sites, and trailheads into the Trinity Alps Wilderness are not far away.

Spring is also a beautiful time of year in the mountains, and of course fall and winter bring Trinity River steelhead season when fishing is the name of the game.

If the Trinity River isn’t on your radar, it’s probably because you’re “out of the loop” on restored anadromous runs. OR it may be you need to find new fishing partners if they’re secretly disappearing on you during the fall or winter. The Trinity is arguably one of the finest steelhead streams in the West and the restoration efforts (Trinity River Restoration Program) have brought the steelhead back by the thousands. The river boasts some of the finest runs and greatest steelheading in decades.

Averaging four to eight pounds, while mature adults measuring over ten pounds are hooked on a regular basis, anglers on the Trinity River have the opportunity to hook into fresh Chinook and Coho salmon, and even sea-run brown trout. Conditions are paramount, but in the right recipe, anglers tie into numerous tailwalkers on a fly rod with the right gear, knowledge, correctly tied flies, maybe the right guide, and certainly some luck. The fish of a thousand casts only take the right cast on the Trinity.

Make sure to contact the lodge for up to date information and also touch base with The Fly Shop in Redding. You’ll get accurate information and know what’s happening on the ground.

Trinity River Steelhead season is shaping up.
