Basin' Shasta Lake - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Well, day 3 of lake Shasta. Lots of bass caught & released, and finally started getting into the rainbows, but every one of them is infested with parasitic Copepods. I was really hoping to connect with the big brown trout that the McCloud arm is famous for, but no luck. I did see one though - a good 8 - 9 pounder jumped out on front of me at 6:45 this morning.
You would think getting a real early start would put you out ahead of the idiot water skiers - you would be wrong...
Hitting the dam area tomorrow - deep and cold water there, and hopefully the salmon will cooperate.
