Shasta Lake Summer Trout 

Could be some of both. Adipose fins aren’t clipped. There is good wild fish reproduction in Shasta. Wild, not necessarily native. Shasta is an impoundment of several rivers that originally had native trout but lots have been planted as well.

Go to this Fish Hawk link for temp preferences for different species of fish. If you troll deep water the Fish Hawk TD is an essential tool for success. I highly recommend buying one. www.fishhawkelectronics.com/salmon-walleye-fishing/preferred-water-temperature

Try launching at Packers Bay and fish the same area you see in this episode. Years ago, while filming a Kayak commercial, I fished side by side out of a kayak with Gary Miralles in his big Duckworth. Gary's boat was the camera boat and I was fishing in the Kayak. Gary had rods out also and we were using the same basic ST products but I caught at least twice as many fish. Big boats do spook the fish. That's why a dodger like the Mack's DD can be good since it planes your lures off to the side. Try lead core. Good luck.

You can troll crawlers for sure. But if you intend to release any fish it's best not to use bait since they tend to get hooked deep. If you're around fish and have the right lures you shouldn't need to hassle with worms. If you do use worms try using a Mack's Wedding Ring or similar lure for a worm harness. The Angler West Barbarian Nightmare by Mack's is a good one. www.anglerwesttv.com/anglerwestbarbariannightmareweddingringbymackslure-1.aspx
