Today we fished Shasta Lake and boy did it fish!  We had a triple on our first pass and little did we know, it was going to be another great day all day long.  We did see a short late morning lull, but after the lull the bite went full tilt!  We hit some beautiful fish and lost a few giants near the boat.  We released a number of smaller trout, but todays clients got their 15 trout limit of big rainbows before 1:00.  We didnt land any browns today, but we hooked a few that didnt make it to the net unfortunately.  It was a stellar day with a lot less smake than yesterday and still very few boats on the water.  I'll be fishing Shasta Lake all month and expect to have many great days of fishing ahead.
