Hi All!! I work for Frito-Lay and I service the Castaic Lake Landing. If you all would like a report about Castaic Lake I could help. I go there once a week and the owner of the landing sends in reports once a week to all the papers and I know him personally.. Last week he caught a 21 pound striper at the dam .. Trout plant turned on the big guy he caught,,Keep a watchful eye on plants.. Bite is first thing in the morning or evening.. Good bet is an AC Plug or in his case a hybrid home made trout imatation . He sells his for around .. 25 bucks..Please practice catch and release...Tight lines ..Jeff
