Just found out that they planted 3500 pounds of trout in the lagoon at Castaic. Would have preferred they do that on the upper lake, but if anyone's looking for something to do tomorrow, the trout bite on the lagoon is the hot ticket. Too bad there are no stripers there...

Yeah, I was bummed to see that, the guy dumping them probably got lazy and just dumped it all at once. I think it's been almost a month now without a plant in the upper lake. I might do the trout thing tonight and break in my new slammers.

where do you like to fish for trout at the lagoon? I have had good luck with bass but have not fished for trout there. I might go in the morning.

TC, I usually fish the rocks right below the parking lot and the launch ramp area. I caught six today using berkley trout worms and thomas Bouyants. It's usually pretty good the day of and a few days after the plant then it starts to taper off. Good luck

P.S. I saw some monster bass feasting on the trout today.

dude it was insane!! they were boiling all over the dock area, they were good fighters on the ultralight gear. thanks for sending me to the right place, great day!!!!

Hey TC, what day did you go? What did you use? I agree it did go insane in afternoon for me.

I fished the lagoon once last spawn i live in so cal so its the only time i had ever been there I did good too I caught 8 bass all on beds biggest was 6.2 I fished for about 3 hours.

how do you rig those power worms... i never figured out how to... they seem so thin.

I got there in the morning and fished from my tube I was using a kastmaster but they wernt taking so switched to a Thomas Boyant and that was the ticket, also super dupers, I wished I thought to use power worms I think those would of nailed them also. I heard about another plant this weekend so I might have to go back, great spot to fish! TC

What color Bouyant did you use...I heard that the upper lake was stocked today I should be there Wed afternoon or Thur morning

Dilbertman, I rigged the worm on a size 10 owner single egg hook, live bait hooks also will work, and a very small split shot about 14 inches up. I actually missed quite a few fish becuase they were short striking it. If this happens then just pinch off about a quarter of the worm and you should hook up more.

Also, for the other question, I was using a gold bouyant.
Good Luck
