Shasta Lake

The Shasta Lake bite slowed a bit for a few days, but it showed a modest increase today.  Its been good fishing, but noticeably slower.  The quality of the trout and a few 2 yr old Kings has been impressive and our clients are always shocked to see how husky our Shasta trout are.  We're spoiled here on Shasta Lake...
