Today we fished Shasta Lake and had similiar results to most of our trips since this summer began.  Its been limits style fishing and today was no exception with todays three anglers.  We started early and had rods bouncing before we could get all our lines in the water.  Our first light bite favored the PLine sunrise squid rigs tipped with Pautzke Fire Brine anchovy strips.  The bite slowed late in the morning hours, but we already had most of our fish in the cooler.  A few more passes around the Digger Bay area and the limits were filled.  Look for trout at 45' feet right now and you should score some great fish!
