If one German Brown of a lifetime isn't enough, catch another one!

First big brown trout today tipped the scale at 5 lbs!

Bill came all the way from Australia to visit family and got to spend a few hours on Shasta Lake. This brown was one of a German Brown double hook up, which isn't something you hear much of on Shasta Lake.

This big Shasta Lake brown trout took a #3 white Optimizer trolling at 3.5 mph.

Get some!

This brown trout has chomped on a few roach.

I’m unsure if the brown trout are descents of von Behr (German Brown), Loch Leven (Scotch Trout), or both. Both strains are listed as being introduced way back in the day, and hatcheries are on record of rearing both. Though some are more colorful than others, biologists say the trout are likely a mix.

Tom waited till the end of the day to catch his first brown of the day.

Larry's second brown of the morning!

These hard fighting Shasta Brown Trout are a blast

Working on Sunday isn't all bad

This Shasta Lake brown trout ate this Mack's Lure 1/2 oz. Hum Dinger. I've caught a lot of great trout on Shasta with this color. Its not a big numbers color for me personally, but it always yields bigger trout. Troll these new 1/2 oz. HD spoons 2.5-3.0 mph for the best action with these heavier spoons.
