Shasta Lake - CA

At one point I saw smoke coming from an abandoned fire pit. After Russ and I put it out we picked up the mess left by who knows who.

There’s really no excuse for folks to leave their mess behind after camping, having a party, or whatever, on the shore of Lake Shasta or anywhere else.

Fishing was enjoyable at Shasta Lake on a windy day, but Russ Herrick, seen here, and I didn’t catch any trout.

We're still catching brown trout on Shasta Lake!

Pour enough Pautzke Fire Brine over the frozen anchovies to fully cover them all.
