ABOUT US

Sweet Trinity Guide Service is a fishing outfitter located on the upper Trinity River in majestic northern California.

The owner and fishing guide operator, Travis Michel, has lived and fished along the Trinity River since he was a young boy. His experience and passion for fishing is evident as he skillfully navigates you down the river in an inflatable raft or drift boat. He has been operating Sweet Trinity Guide Service on the Trinity River for more than 15 years and is a highly versatile guide. His knowledge spans from making secret sauce salmon bait balls, tying flies, back rowing plugs, bobber fishing, nymphing, floating dry flies, swinging flies with single or double handed spey rods to moving you through fishing holes with finesse. He has an arsenal of knowledge, equipment, and instruction for your trip.

Sweet Trinity Guide Service accommodates clients of all skill levels and ages and can tailor services to meet your needs. Our drift boat has three doors which provide a safer entry and exit to shore.

Let us know how we can make your trip special! Our goal is productive fishing, but beyond that is providing an enjoyable, safe, and memorable experience.
