hey scott,
fish here all the time. trout are plentiful in Sizzler Cove on power bait or worms. I meter bass all over the place, but don't chase them. The local teenagers can help you get them.

the bass in this lake will blow your mind- can be slow and tough, but more big fish then you'd expect-

9" AC Plug and 12" snakes for the big girls, drop shotting the usual suspects for the smaller units- still a tough bite, not the lake if you are looking for numbers- got some nice ones on the 9" Castaic trout- good lake to fish the deep cranks too, and the jig
