Shasta Lake - CA

Big rainbows are holding the points right now and I believe its because most of the browns are up in the tributaries. The rainbows are fat and are getting ready for their trip up the rivers as well.

Most of the browns we are catching are post spawn right now, but we should see some bigger specimens headed upstream around Christmas. In the meantime, we're definitely catching most of our browns over deep water where they seem to be actively searching for baitfish.
