Welcome<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Trinity Fork Outfitters provides quality guided hunting, angling, spearfishing, and llama packing experiences in Northern California. We offer everything from half-day fishing trips to week-long or longer backcountry hunting adventures. Our biggest goal is to make you feel like you are on an excursion with a friend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Guides Year<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Beginning in spring and summer is the height of the fishing season where the priority is chasing high mountain rainbows or spearfishing for big toothy lingcod – and everything in between. Archery season kicks off in August and we shift focus to big-game hunting for big California black bears and Columbian black-tailed deer. We chase a variety of upland birds in between archery and the general deer season. Always keeping several pointing and retrieving dogs on staff. That only lasts for a short time before the general deer and bear season begins in mid-September; this is the best chance to find a mature hard antlered deer and a mature boar gorging on mast crops. Late October marks the end of deer season but there is still plenty to hunt \u2013 bear, waterfowl, upland birds, squirrels, rabbits and turkey. Throughout the winter is primetime for predator hunting for coyote, gray fox, and raccoons. As the furs go out of prime we start to hear the turkeys gobble. Nothing is more enjoyable than a spring day under towering oaks playing cat and mouse with a longbeard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We pretty much do it all here at Trinity Fork Outfitters. Our goal is to make your experience unique and rewarding. We will teach you everything we know and I\u2019m sure learn a thing or two from you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Please give us a call if you have any questions or to ask about availability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hunting Opportunities<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

There are dozens of guides and outfitters to choose from all over America. Land access is getting scarce, pressure is increasing on public lands, and tags are becoming increasingly harder to draw.  Our goal is to bring attention to the exceptional hunting that gets overlooked in California. Who says you can\u2019t have just as much fun hunting Columbian black-tailed deer as you would on a Colorado mule deer hunt? Hunting is about the people and camaraderie. We work tirelessly year-round to put guests on the intended game but we all know the kill is much more enjoyable when in good company. We like to say that hunting with us is \u201clike hunting with a friend.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How often do you see California license plates while hunting in Idaho? <\/em>All the time. How often do you see Idaho license plates hunting in California? Never? Why is that? <\/em>California is not often thought of as a destination hunting location. Maybe the state doesn\u2019t market itself well enough. If you are a non-resident there are some exceptional hunting opportunities that you are missing out on. If you are a resident \u2013 you don\u2019t need to spend $12-20K on an elk hunt in Wyoming. Exceptional hunts and unforgettable experiences are much closer than you think.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So what does Trinity Fork Outfitters have to offer hunters?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Roosevelt Elk \u2013 If you are lucky enough to draw any of the Roosevelt elk tags in California than you are in for a hunt of a lifetime. We guide elk hunts in the Marble Mountains<\/a> and Northwestern California<\/a> elk zones where the bulls and terrain are sure to impress any hunter.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Columbian Black-tailed Deer<\/a> \u2013 Only 3 states host pure Columbian black-tailed deer. Sure, the antlers don\u2019t get as big as Rocky Mountain mule deer but the experience is just as thrilling. This subspecies is one of the toughest animals to hunt in some of the most unforgettable terrain. Most of the harvest in the state consists of forked-horns but to kill a mature blacktail buck is truly an accomplishment. California offers a unique environment for blacktail deer hunting because there is ample opportunities for spot and stalk style hunting and always the possibility at a monster. <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
