TOURNAMENT-CAUGHT BLACK BASS DESCRIPTION OF SHASTA LAKE 37 Shasta Lake is a 5,551 hm 3 impoundment formed by Shasta Dam on the Sacramento River, 11 km upstream from Redding, California (Figure 1). The dam was constructed by the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation in the early 1940s to provide water for irrigation, electrical power, and flood control. The reservoir has a surface area of 11,947 ha and 587 km of shoreline at full pool elevation (325 m). Water is stored during the winter for agricultural use mainly during the summer, which causes the water level to fluctuate greatly, with the highest levels occurring in the spring and lowest in the fall. 10 HT SHKIk

FIGURE 1. Map of Shasta Lake showing tagged bass release sites and recapture locations. METHODS A total of 126 tournament-caught smallmouth bass and 41 largemouth bass, from undetermined locations throughout the lake, were tagged with nonreward trailer tags and released at the Bridge Bay Marina on March 2, 1985 (Figure 1). Likewise, on 22 and 23 March, 1985, 371 smallmouth and 42 largemouth bass were tagged and released at the Silverthorn Marina (Table 1). Green vinyl plastic trailer tags, measuring 16 mm X mm X 0.8 mm and inscribed with the letters "NR" and instructions for returning the tag by mail were attached to the fish by threading soft 0.3 mm stainless steel wire through 21-gage X 3.8 cm hypodermic needles temporarily inserted through the back of the fish at the anterior base of the first dorsal fin. Following removal of the needles, the wires of the tag bridles remained in the fish and were fastened by twisting the ends and cutting off the excess wire. Trailer tags attached in this manner were found
