Who Wins

Pre-6, Tristana outranges you significantly at levels 1-3 and her passive gives her even more range as the game progresses, making extended trades dangerous for you; Nami's empowered autos and bubble add consistent poke that punishes your immobility.
Post-6, your R transforms the matchup — the permanent Q activation and upgraded E dash give you the mobility and sustained damage output to win extended fights, especially if Nautilus has already landed his hook to lock Tristana down.

Let Nautilus initiate with his hook on Tristana, then immediately activate R to gain your dash and sustained splash damage; your goal is to stick to Tristana through her W jump using your E dash during R, as she has no other escape once her W is burned.
Avoid trading without Nautilus engaging first, since Nami's heal and bubble make isolated poke trades heavily unfavorable for you.

Push the wave consistently using your Q active's splash damage to clear efficiently and deny Tristana the ability to freely poke you under tower pressure; a faster wave means shorter windows where you're exposed to Nami's poke and Tristana's long-range harass.
Avoid freezing — you lack the tools to safely contest a freeze against Tristana's range advantage and Nami's sustain.

Do not try to trade without your R available against this lane — without R, your E is just a minor speed boost and you have no reliable way to close the gap on Tristana or escape Nami's bubble.
Walking up to stack your Q passive without a clear engage path from Nautilus is a common mistake that gives Tristana free poke windows.
