Slower brown bite, but the rainbows were on fire!

Today we fished Shasta Lake.  We started the day trolling optimizer spoons and got a nice brown on our second pass which Don released after a few pics.  After that, things slowed down until we switched over to smaller gear and reduced our trolling speed.  Wasn't long before we were watching the rods go down with some savage bites.  We had a double hook up and a triple on the same pass!  It was another perfect day on Shasta Lake.
