Re: Line visibility
I use braid on all spinning reels, and splice on 6 feet of appropriate size fluorocarbon to it. Why? No clue other than the braid is very easy to handle and fluorocarbon is alleged to be invisible........

Re: Shasta Anglers, whats open
Gad it worked out for you.
I hit the water for about 5 hours today, pretty much same results. I did get one on a shaky head that pushed 2 1/4 lbs.

Re: Shasta Anglers, whats open
Packers Bay has plenty of room. Baily Cove could be tight if you arrive after 7 AM.
Last week I had a best 5 pushing 12 lbs. Yesterday I worked my butt off for one under 2 lbs. Good luck and enjoy your day.

Re: Shasta is open
Not sure of other ramps, but Baily Cove has more activity than I have ever encountered. Parking spots last Friday were like hens teeth. I was out today and the parking area was 1/2 full, rare for a Wednesday.
