Today Jim, Steve, and I went trophy hunting but the fish gods had other plans for us.  We did catch some quality fish, but the bite was much slower than expected.  I'll be fishing Shasta from now through October when the lake turns over.  If you would like to book a trip with me, July thru September will be GREAT fishing for big rainbows and browns.  We're still catching good fish now, but it really turns on in July!  Thanks!  (707) 616-1905.
