The shad are moving into the coves and trout and bass are following them. Coves that are out of the wind are perfect, you can sight fish for the marauders. A Float n' Fly rig with a Shad Float n' Fly fished about 7 - 9' deep is working. You can also fish Balanced Leeches too. For those of you who would like to cast and feel the grab, fish an I-Line or full sinking line with JR's Minnow in Shad, a white Sparkle Minnow. Some top water bites can still be had. And someone leaked a secret, if you head to Centimudi and fish a #12 Parachute Adams or a #18 BWO Comparadun you can pick up the trout chasing shad up into the cove. Or that's what I heard. The fall bass and trout season is here on Shasta!
