Trinity River Light Tackle Trip

Service Description

Trinity River Light Tackle Trips For anglers who love the feel of a rod loading up and the thrill of a hard strike, our light tackle trips on the Trinity River deliver action and excitement. Using light spinning gear, we target steelhead with a variety of proven techniques—drifting bait, tossing spoons, or fishing soft plastics—depending on river conditions and fish behavior. The Experience You’ll cover productive runs, tailouts, and pocket water that are ideal for light tackle presentations. This approach is perfect for anglers looking for versatility, as we can adapt quickly to changing conditions. Light tackle trips are a great option for those who want a more active style of fishing or may not be ready to commit to fly gear. What’s Included • Full-day guided trip with an experienced steelhead guide • Quality light spinning rods, reels, and terminal tackle (or bring your own) • Instruction on casting accuracy, lure presentation, and hook setting • Shore lunch and hot beverages for comfort throughout the day Season & Conditions Light tackle trips run October through February, overlapping the peak of the Trinity’s steelhead season. Late fall offers aggressive fish that chase lures, while winter brings chrome-bright steelhead fresh from the ocean. Why Light Tackle on the Trinity? • Highly effective in a range of conditions • Great for anglers of all experience levels • Active, hands-on fishing style • Excellent chance at both hatchery and wild steelhead
