Happy New Year, Anglers!

We hope everyone is settling in to the New Year. With all the rain last week Lake Casitas is just about 80% full. There has been 2 big trout plants that stimulates the big bass bite! A NICE 12 pound bass was caught last Friday Dec. 31st 2010. The live "shad" bait fish are up right now at Lake Casitas the averaging catch is between 2-8 fish a trip.

Winter and early spring is a great time to target double digit Largemouth Bass. Lake Casitas is famous for having produced 2 of the top 15 heaviest largemouth bass ever caught. In the spring of 1980 Raymond Easley weighed a bass at an astonishing 21 pounds 3.5 ounces. The mammoth largemouth was just 1 pound shy of the current world record, 22 pounds 4 ounces, held by George Perry since 1932.

We are in HOT PURSUIT of that world record million dollar bass!

Tim and Ian on Dec. 31st their biggest bass was 4.5 pounds along with some trout.

Lake Casitas Set for Trout Stocking

A total of roughly 18,000 pounds of rainbow trout are to be released into Lake Casitas in two deliveries. The first delivery was completed the week of Thanksgiving and the second is scheduled for the week of Christmas. The majority of the fish will weigh in at the ¾ - 3 pound category. A few trophy size trout will be in the 5–8 pound range, and some may even surpass the current 1985 record trout caught at 9.5 pounds!

The Lake Casitas Recreation Area purchased the rainbow trout from Chaulk Mound Trout Ranch in Nebraska. The Chaulk Mound Trout Ranch is known for the strong fighting and good tasting Nebraska Tailwalkers. “The Tailwalkers are famously known for their line acrobatics, beautiful color and full tails and are certain to enhance the recreational fishing experience and increase the possibility that a new record trout will be caught” said Carol Belser, Park Services Manager.

Guide Chris caught a 10 pound Catfish on Sunday Dec. 5th along with some trout.
