Shasta Lake

Today we fished Shasta Lake again with the Bywaters looking for a few big bites, specifically brown trout.  Its been hit and miss for most on Shasta Lake recently, but we've managed to find some quality fish which have mostly been in the 3-4 lb range, with a few in the 6 lb. class.  Big rainbows are hard to come...
