But everyone else on the lake were catching trout lol so they were there for sure. But for Casitas lake I am going to use my normal rods and maybe play with my fly rod.

1. Does anyone fish here for stripper with rod and reel? if so any advice I have never fished for them before.

2. Has anyone fished for them with a fly rod? any suggestions on flies?

Thanks for any input

Casitas lake has no stippers...check you local strip club for that...

as for stripers...they have no stripers in Casitas...
only large mouth bass, catfish, trout, redear perch, carp, crappie and black crappie...
not sure about the fly thing...my guess would be this time of year would
be ok for sinking critters, not much in the way of surface action...
bass are down deep this time of year and so are the trout...

as for kayaking or boating...
unless you have one stored at the lake, you will not be alowed to launch yours...quaaga mussle fear has the lake locked down...
a 10 day quarentine is the only way to get your boat on the lake...
if you have an extra $50.00 and time to get your boat or kayak up to the lake at least 10 days prior to your planned fishing day, you can do the inspection and quarentine...
I say...F that...for $50.00 I'll rent a skiff or fish from shore...
