The spot that originally
brought us to Trinity County in the mid-seventies, Lewiston
lake is one of the area's best kept secret treasures. Smaller
than it's bigger cousin, Trinity Lake, Lewiston enjoys fine
trout fishing year-round (in season) due to its cold source
water flowing out from the Trinity dam, 400 feet below the
surface. The state record German Brown trout was caught
in Lewiston in the mid-seventies.
Best times of the year to fish
Lewiston Lake
Late Spring to Early Fall
Trout can be taken on bait as well as on spinners and flies
from the opening of the season until the season closes.
Sometimes fishing can be very very good using small nymphs,
wets or dries.
Large browns are targeted trolling minnow type lures deep.
