Shasta Lake

Shasta Lake is closing in on the big upturn in the bite for both salmon and trout on Shasta Lake.  We're still lagging a bit behind but I believe its due to the lack of Shad in the lower lake.  Its a temproary situation and the trout and salmon are still around the main body areas we are fishing for...
