Shasta pre-Thanksgiving Trips - Newer longer version added

After reading everyone's salt therapy reports for awhile and thinking I would not get into my yak for sometime I had some lucky timing as I was able to get out to Lake Shasta (Jones Valley - real low!) twice before Thanksgiving crowd came in from out of town. I actually took some GoPro footage of two beautiful evenings and one great clip of my rod going bendo as a trout strikes. My problem is I can not figure out how to turn this footage to an iMovie yet.  I tried but no luck yet.

I did end up with two trout each evening and missed a few more. Caught two on a 1/4 oz Kastmaster and two on a Rapala. Decent size ~14 to 15 inches and chucky as a footballs. The first evening the two came as a double hook up which was fun trying to get the second one in...again great footage of the mess.

I know no pics...did not happen... Some day soon I will add the video.



New loner version added to you tube...my first!

I'm glad you were able to get out there, Dave.

When I had GoPro's I also had trouble converting the files to usable for what I edit with.  I need easy...

Good luck.   

Glad you were able to get out Dave, I need to get back on the water myself !!!

Download the free GoPro cinema app.

Congrats on the fish.
 I was up there too, fishing at siskiyou. I was kinda shocked seeing how low the water was. Parts of shasta looked more like a creek than a lake.

WTG Dave, I also made it out to JV last week for a few hours to play with my new FF. Landed a 15" & 17" and lost a 19"-20"  six feet from the yak, also caught a 12" bass along the way. The pink Mad River worms drew the most attention and several missed opportunities  . PM jbaker about the GoPro as he recently got one also.

Now if I can only figure out how to do more with iMovie. 

My first "full length short YouTube Video!


Sorry the report fish pics are late... just having fun learning the ropes with the tech.

Nice video Dave, the #2 fish looked like a Pit River strain ( black spots on the belly = good eating  )
P.S.- keep pedaling with a double hook-up, less lost fish that way.

Nice video Dave. Hope you don't mind I posted it to our Facebook page. Way to put the Hobie to work.

Thanks Tim for the tip. I had a lot of line out and I was suprised the second fish was still on. Gotta get out more.

Looks like an ad for Hobie Can you see Headwaters sticker as well?  Love my Revo!

Very cool video man that sweet double hook up.
