Summer Season on Shasta Lake Has Begun!
5-19-2024
Jeff Goodwin
Shasta Lake had a great winter season and I'm happy to report that we have a near full lake and conditions couldn't be better! Currently the lake level is less than 6' feet from full and water surface temps are on the rise. Yesterdays trip ended with surface temps pushing 73 degrees. 53 degree water is at the 55' foot level and many of the trout and salmon we're catching are being caught at that level. We're still getting bites up in the 15'-20' level as well but that will change weekly as we push into the summer months. We are primarily catching rainbow and brown trout but we are also seeing both King and Kokanee salmon in the mix as well. Last years salmon bite was terrible so its refreshing to see a good bite so far this season. We caught an 8 Lb King salmon this past winter so we know there are some bigger Kings in the lake but we are seeing a lot of 2-3 lb salmon this spring. The rainbow populations are healthy and with robust plants of brown trout the past several years, there are a lot of browns being caught on Shasta as well. We are watching the lake set up nicely and it should be lights out fishing as June arrives. June thru September is a great time to fish Shasta Lake and we'll be booking trips daily from now into early October. Stay tuned for more Shasta Lake fishing reports all summer. if you woud like to book a Shasta Lake fishing trip with us, call Jaynie at (530) 510-2925 for more information and our available dates. Thank you!
