Fishing has slowed somewhat and there are quite a few salmon holding in the deeper holes waiting to spawn
Report: Fishing has slowed somewhat and there are quite a few salmon holding in the deeper holes waiting to spawn. We have quite a few fish in the 18-22" range from Lewiston on downstream with a few large adults thrown in the mix. Fish are pretty grabby right now, it is a good time to swing and skate. Water temps just above the North Fork confluence continue to top 70 F, so we would recommend fishing above Steiner Flat, the daily water temps at Douglas City are just touching 62F. The weather over on the Trin is much cooler than down here in the valley and this is a good option right now to beat the heat. We've got guides available right now that can get you out, give us a call or you can go directly to our Trinity guide page and book a trip now.

'Redding's little Cheers bar.' Wine down at Grape Escape
The Grape Escape wine bar in downtown Redding is the type of casual hangout where new customers aren’t strangers for long. Owners Adam Browning and Kayla Hatch have created a welcoming atmosphere for wine lovers since they took over the business in May 2020 at the corner of South and Pine streets. Nicknamed The Grape, it’s an award-winning community bar and spot to have some food to go along with glasses of full-bodied cabernet sauvignon, a crisp pinot grigio and more drink choices. “A lot of people come in and say it's kind of like Redding's little Cheers bar,” Browning said. “It's just a place where you're greeted at the door (with), ‘Hey, how you doing?’ Maybe a hug and a handshake. And pretty much by the time you leave here, you're going to know somebody,” he added. “Come as strangers, leave as friends,” is how Hatch describes the experience. The couple say they get a lot of travelers, many of whom say they plan to return the next time they’re in town. “They’re like, ‘We gotta come back in here,’” Browning said. The Grape offers regional wines The Grape is only open three evenings a week — Thursday, Friday

Painting of Noble Castle, also known as Noble Bungalow
When I first came across this whimsical folk-art painting of the curiously shaped “castle” in the Collection, I had to know more about it. What I thought would be simple research about an artist turned into an unexpected journey through local history, Ancestry.com, and historic newspapers. Though honestly, that’s one of the best parts of museum work.
