It’s finally June and that means summer fishing on Shasta Lake! The fishing has been pretty good all year so far but June is when the fishing really kicks up a notch. We’ll be targeting rainbows, browns, Kings, and Kokanee salmon through September again this year. Currently we’re fishing the lower areas of the Sacramento and McCloud river arms and catching numerous fish daily. We’ve had a lot of great groups come out to fish with us this year already and we’re headed into the busiest part of the year on the lake. Whether you want to fish with family or friends and want to just catch fish or learn more about fishing Shasta, now is the time to schedule your trip(s).

Shasta Lake rainbow trout caught June 3rd, 2023!

We’ve been fishing 10’ to 25’ deep and have been trolling with side planers and divers. Small spoons have been a staple for us but traditional trolling gear will work as well. With surface temps hovering around 72 degrees we have been fishing really shallow. It was a big winter on Shasta and the lake is FULL! We’ll see the bite pick up even more as the trout and salmon begin to feed on the Thread fin Shad. Stay tuned for more reports as we get deeper into the month of June!
