Fishing

01. Fly Fishing CollageShasta Lake is a fisherman’s dream. With its four large arms (Pit River, Squaw Creek, McCloud River, and Sacramento River) it’s like having four different lakes from which to fish. When full its 365 mile shoreline, comprised of everything from steep and rocky banks to coves of wooded flats, provides fishermen with plenty of area to search for the abundant population of fish that inhabit the lake. Also, at a maximum depth of 517ft. and 29,500 surface acres, there’s a tremendous amount of water inhabiting a variety of fish including: bass, trout and salmon, catfish, sturgeon, crappie, bluegill, and others.
