The Crappie bite slowed some this past week. Although the slabs were reportedly taking CD Rapalas, mini jigs and mealworms. Most fish were caught trolling or drifting the Narrows and Cachuma Bay.

The Bass bite has been fair as the fish begin to move up to spawn. The Bass have been taking spinnerbait, crankbaits and a wide variety of plastics.

Catfish are beginning to show up in the counts although locations were not disclosed. Trput fishing has been slow but on Tuesday March 19th, Castaic will receive a 4,000 lb. trout plant from Calaveras Trout Farm. This is the 1st of 3 large stockings of rainbow to boost the population for the upcoming trout derby held on April 20th and 21st. Bowfishing for Carp has been good in the Narrows and around Arrowhead Island in both the morning and evening hours.
