Today we fished Shasta Lake and once again, one of our father/son clients caught his personal best brown trout making for a memorable day for sure.  It only took him 82 years, but better late than never as the saying goes.  Slower bite, but admittedly, we were looking for a bigger variety of fish anyways.  I think the weather change may have slowed things down a bit, but we got off the water at around 11:00 so if there was a late bite we wouldnt have known about it anyway.  LOTS of bait showing now and the trout are showing up in even bigger numbers to gorge themselves on Shad.  Shasta a great option for fishing rt now and has definitely taken center stage here in the Redding area!  Fish 40-60' near shore for best results.
