The morning bite on Shasta was red hot and we had tallied 20+ trout hooked before 10:00

This planer board system spread is quite similar although it's a diagram provided by Trinidad Tackle for running their big fish Optimizer spoons. Same principle though when trolling Arctic Fox flies. Photo courtesy of Stan Kulak of Trinidad Tackle.

Fishing with Church Tackle side planers is an absolutely deadly and very effective technique for catching big trout in our northern California lakes., Keeping an open mind of course that these side planers have practical uses in just about every fishery in the country! Visit www.churchtackle.com to see all of what they have to offer in this realm of the fishing world.

This Shasta Lake brown was caught trolling an Arctic Fox Trolling tube fly in the white smelt pattern.

Just a few of the important pieces of my daily success on the lakes trolling flies.
