Today we fished day one of two on Shasta Lake.  Weather was horrible and fishing was very tough.  We were taking water over the bow and getting blown sideways in a driving rain most of the day.  Trout were on top and thats where we saww all the action again today.  Downriggers were basically useless for us today.  We got some good srtong bites early, but short strikes domintated the rest of the day.
