Castaic Lake rose to 32 percent of capacity, and water temps have been in the high fifties. Anglers reported good bass, striper, and trout fishing last week. Bass anglers used drop shot, Carolina rigs, and Senkos along bluff walls and on main lake points. Some of the best colors were Ox Blood, Shad, and Purple. Vertical spoons have been working for the deeper bass. Striper were fooled by anglers throwing jerkbaits, large swimbaits, and cut baits. Trolled umbrella rigs and flies also scored plenty of fish. Non-stop trout plants provided limit style fishing for anglers using dough bait, Mousetails, and lures. All the trout brought feeding striper into the marina, and anglers have been throwing Huddleston’s, glide baits, and large topwater lures to fool fish up to 20lbs
