Fishing conditions:  Fair to Good

Report: Fishing is ok, not super good. In a couple of weeks the longer days and warming weather will get the fish up into the shallower coves looking to spawn and it will be totally game on - big numbers! Fish the Pit or Squaw arms for the good numbers. Dark Float n' Flies fished at least eight feet deep continues to be the most productive method. Look for the bass and trout to chase shad balls and throw a streamer like the Baby Fat Minnow in Sexy Shad on an I-Line. This fall and through the winter will be a great time to get out on the lake if you would like to catch as many fish as you can handle or want to sight cast streamers to cruising fish, give us a call or book directly on our website page to get a good day of fishing on Shasta Lake!

Hot Flies:

• Wooly Buggers
• Float-n-Flies
• Dead Drop Minnow
• Zack's Stillwater Balanced Leech
