Fishing has been fair, and trout and striper have been the best bets

3-10-2023
Chad Burton and Chris Borden

Castaic Lake rose to 61 percent of capacity, and the waters are very muddy. Fishing has been fair, and trout and striper have been the best bets. Striper anglers soaked cut baits and lugworms while, catfish anglers used chicken lived and dip bait near the marina. Trout anglers caught rainbows with Powerbait, minijigs, and Pinched Crawlers. Large and smallmouth took drop shot, Ned rigs, and Carolina rigged C3 finesse baits in purple, bluegill, and green pumpkin colors.
