http://www.myoutdoorbuddy.comLake Shasta has been fishing very well for bass and trout. Many bass anglers are scoring easy limits, with many practicing catch and release and scoring catch rates into the twenties. Rock outcroppings and rock walls along the main lake arms are producing well with many bass coming off dart heads, drop shot and small jig techniques.
I was out last Tuesday and witnessed catches on dart heads, shaky heads and crawdad jig presentations as well as on spinnerbaits, crankbaits and live minnows. Many of the bass taken were attacking the plastics on the fall or from anglers working the bottom with a slow drift.
Trout are also producing well. Trolling minnow/shad imitation spoons and hard baits are doing well on the main lake body. Some trollers are using electronics and downriggers to target larger browns with success at depth.
