Shasta Lake looks great!

We're about to kick off our 2023 summer fishing season on Shasta Lake!  The trout fishing has been good for the most part and we're sure to start seeing more salmon in the mix soon.  The lake is full and water conditions continue to improve.  We're seeing mostly rainbows and browns on the bite with some accidental bass caught in the mix.  The trout are in great shape and have been feeding on all the plankton and bug hatches this month.  The Shad should start showing up soon and thats when the bite gets really good!  We're booking Shasta lake fishing trips daily and have 2 boats available most days of the week.  Call or text Jaynie at (530) 510-2925 for available dates!
