Shasta lake Brown Trout are bad ass !

Shasta Lake brown trout love to eat Optimizer Spoons!

Not the biggest brown hooked today, but its the biggest we landed. Check out the selection of Optimizer Spoons at www.trinidadtackle.com! They catch big fish!

1st brown of the morning today! Quality Shasta Lake browns readily take a properly presented Shad that has been soaked in Pautzke Bait Co. Fire Brine overnight!

Taking advantage of the shaded side of the lake before the sun hits the water is always a good idea when hunting big German Browns.

Good friend and fellow guide, Anthony Cox showing his biggest brown landed this morning while fishing with me.

This diagram provided by Trinidad Tackle covers fishing with downriggers, side planers, and even a long line mast if you are set up for fishing with one during cold water surface fishing.
