The weather is getting warmer and warmer and the fishing is picking up  great at shasta lake for bass and trout also picking up kokenee salmon on the lake for the first time they are showing them selves more and more .Bass are hitting all over the lake with most of the fish being close to the bank .The larger bass seem to be in the deeper areas and the larger numbers are on the bank .I've been finding some shad up the pit arm .Seems when the boat traffic mellows out the move into the center of the pit .Shad pattern lures like rip baits and crank baits .Worming of course is always a go to .Rainbow trout are biting up in big back bone arm and also the mouth of the Sacramento arm .Call for open dates .
