Shasta Lake Fishing Report
Report Updated Jan. 1, 2012
GOOD TROUT TROLLING!
It’s been cold here at night, but the afternoons have been nice. The trout are up top and trollers working shad lures like ShadRaps and silver spoons are seeing nice rainbows to 2-3 pounds plus the occasional brown while fishing the main body near the shorelines. Bass are deep and the fishing is slow…

About Shasta Lake
The crown jewel of California reservoirs, Shasta has it all…epic scenery, awesome fishing and even plenty of room for lovers of, well, let’s just say water sports other than fishing. Just beyond the northern end of the Sacramento Valley, Shasta’s got landlocked king salmon, rainbow and brown trout to 10 plus pounds, tons of spotted bass, along with smallies and largemouth…not to mention a bunch of catfish, panfish and maybe even a sturgeon!
