    Report: This is the irst time i have ished shasta and we did very well. i ished the sacramento arm our whole trip. most ish were caught between 15-50t. drop shot'n small baits and darterhead jigs with grubs, any natural color worked great. we caught a mix spots, smallies, and one largemouth 1-2pound average. i had a chance to use my aqua-vu and most o the ish were holding in 24t o water on secondary points and on rocky walls.

    Tips: ishing is really picking up and the ish should be moving there way up longer point and coves shortly. ish slow and use scents they seem to hold on longer when the water is cold

    Report: Fished all week, mostly in the Pit. Using jigs most o the time, we ound ish to be airly deep, 20-30 eet, although I did catch a ew on crankbaits and one on a spinnerbait. As usual, steep drop os gave us best luck, and red clay banks. Fish were eeding on crawdads, and one had a ish tail visable in it's throat when I landed it. We caught a couple o nice ones over 2 lbs, one almost 3. Water in the lake was coming up ast all week. Sure was nice to be out in the spring weather.

    Report: Dang Bryce, or numbers you kicked jerry's and my butt yesterday. WE only had nine ish between us,( I was lucky enough to get seven), my biggest was 1.87. They were all atties, ull o bait. We launced out o Centimudi, and ish his water, all within 2 miles o the dam. Jigs were not the predominant bait,(although we each got a nice smallie on such). The reaction bite was awull.(one ish the irst hour, 1.6 )Drop shotting was the ticket, in 20'-30' o points. The bait was scattered ater thursday's winds.
    City: Livermore/Redding soon!

    Tips: Our ish seemed slugish and unwilling to eat much. But ater catching these atties, it's apparent they have had plenty to eat.

    Report: got in at Keith's landing at 0615, air temp 24 degrees, water down 4 eet, sounds a bit unny, right? I was up in Oregon visiting my riend Keith Ogawa and going out or some steelhead onthe Rogue which just happens to low past his house. We went with one o his riends, Todd Puett who operates his own guide service (541)772-3502. Got 21 ish on Friday and 18 on Saturday pulling plugs and side driting a unique bait that Todd ties up. Most came on Todd's special and averaged 4-6 lbs with most being hatchery ish with a ew wild ish thrown in. The early mornings were very nippy but warmed to 60+ by noon. We ished a section rom the rattlesnake rapids down to Touvelle and caught ish in just about every place we stopped, the wild ish were much more acrobatic than the hatchery ish. Todd really knows the river, and he is very patient, even with a pain in the butt (Keith) in the boat. (just kidding, Keith) Had a great time and i your going that way and want to ish the Smith, Chetco, or the Rogue, give Todd a call. He is good.
    City: Redding

    Tips: summer steelhead still in the river and providing consistent hookups.

    Report: Fished the Sac Arm around the Tsasdi Resort area(a nice place to stay, i recommend it i your staying on the lake. Fished the weekend and caught a decent amount. ished about an hour riday night caught about 9-10 on the dropshot and a couple on a jig with a 6" bubble gum worm. the next day started about 6am and ished the whole day. had my cousin, girlriend and another riend with me. i caught about 35 or the day and my other companions brought in about 30 all together. most still caught on the drop shot and the others on minnows and an occasional on a craw dad. sunday was about the same my riend and i went with a guy to troll or some trout, caught a ew around the Sugarloa area, but i think the ish are moving up more near Tsasdi. Fishing decent but not as good as other years.
    City: Rancho Cordova
