Good friend and owner of Trinidad Tackle Co. (Stan Kulak) with a big brown he caught with me while trolling a white Optimizer Spoon! Check out www.trinidadtackle.com and the whole line of Optimizer Spoons. These are killer big fish spoons!
Fall is in full swing now and although we have seen mostly mild weather, winter is right around the corner. I've been spending a lot of time on Shasta Lake hunting big trout. I'm catching some multi pound German Browns of late and we've hooked some real monsters! We're seeing a mix of big adult browns heading up into the McCloud Arm to spawn and some big hens (females) this week that have already spawned and are migrating back down the arm to fatten up on shad. We are running big spoons at fast speeds which tends to get the attention of these bigger Shasta Lake trout. We aren't seeing the big numbers our summer fishery provides, but we are hooking trout that are above average for anyone who fishes for trout out there. As the spawning ends and these adult size browns head back into the deep waters of the lake to feed, we'll surly see some impressive fish come to the net! If this sounds like your kind of a trip, give me a call and we'll set a date for your trip provided I think the fishing and water conditions will be viable. Tight Lines!
Nice female German Brown caught this week in the McCloud arm of Shasta Lake.
