BasThe 7th Annual Shasta Lake Trout Derby was held last weekend. My buddy Harold Jones(Sugarloaf Cottages), his wife Arlene, my wife Cheryl and I were commenting on what a huge success it was and how enthusiastic everyone was. The fishing was good, the weather fantastic and everyone had a GREAT time! Greg Graham went home with a $2500 check, 9.58# of Rainbow Trout and $500 cash(biggest fish on Saturday's side pot!) DO NOT miss this Derby next year doing what you love to do plus getting a chance to win money! The Rainbow and Brown Trout were caught top-lining in the morning and then fishing deeper(30 Feet) as the day went along. The Spotted Bass are also on the bite with top water lures in the early morning then switching to drop-shotting and dragging the trusty grubs on a leadhead. Here is the list of weights for the Derby: See you out there!
