The fishing continues to improve on the lake, if you can believe that. Banner days with the spots and 'bows can be had. A lot of bass have moved pretty deep, but plenty remain in the first ten feet of the water column. The tributary creeks and many other little rivulets will draw a lot of fish. Look for fish to congregate on the inflows, look way up in the coves and don't pass up any chances at fish just milling around willy-nilly, they can be players. Some are reporting shad patterns are working well, otherwise midges or small BWO nymphs fished under indicators can work for trout. Try also stripping in a plain old Pheasant Tail in #14 - 18 with an I Line and you won't be disappointed. For the bass not chowing on the incoming protein streams, they are stacked in the 12- 25' depths eating crayfish. Come check out our float-n-fly options to get set up for big numbers! Bounced down the banks this is too much fun. Winter bass and rainbows on Shasta is a lot of fun!
Hot Flies:
• Wooly Buggers
• Float-n-Flies
• Dead Drop Minnow
• Zack's Stillwater Balanced Leech
