Shasta Lake is in great shape and we’re catching fish on every trip. We have temporarily suspended our guided fishing trips until a shelter in place order is lifted. We will still be fishing recreationally and staying on top of the best spots until we are working again. The March season on Shasta Lake has been really good some days and lack luster on a few others. All in all, we’ve seen some good trout coming over the rail and its just going to improve from here on out. Our big brown trout fishing will start to yield some bigger specimens in the coming weeks. Worry not, we will not miss the good brown trout fishing by delaying our trips until April 13th. Last year, some of our best days for catching browns were in mid to late April into May. Summer always brings some of the best fishing of the year, including some giant browns. We never really shut down during the year so we’ll take advantage of this downtime to get some items in need of being taken care of done.
We have cancelled over 30 days of fishing on Shasta so far, but thats all we foresee at this time. We really appreciate the support most of our clients have extended in the way of flexibility in re scheduling, and especially are thankful that many have not cancelled their trips all together. Most small businesses are experiencing a crippling financial impact, and we are no exception. We do expect to fully recover at some point, but its not going to happen right away. Rest assured, we will continue to provide the very best guided fishing experiences looking forward.
Thank you,
Captain Jeff Goodwin
