Here's a link I found with a snip of info pasted below.



Good fishing....... ;-)

Striper Fishing Lakes In California
The Colorado River lakes along the California-Arizona border are populated with striped bass. Before dams were built the river was a major spawning ground and many monster stripers have come from these waters.
In Central CA, Millerton Lake is the primary option for striper fishing. Southern CA has several options including Lake Cahuilla, Pyramid Lake and Lake Silverwood.
Now that school is back in session , Castaic lake also has "Jailbirds" [Mr. Stripee out there can range from "schoolie size" (2-5#'ers) up to 20lb+]. They can be finicky @ times (weekends) and can have a serious case of "Lockjaw", but Andy had a couple trips out there recently and scored at least one on each trip (which is much better than my avg. and I've been fishing there since I move to Santa Clarita over 35+ years ago!).
