Castaic Lake Shore Fishing Update 2026 | Upper Lake Bass Fishing

In this video I head up to Castaic Lake for the first time in a long time to check out the current lake conditions and try my luck shore fishing at the Upper Lake. I went out on two different days to see how the fishing has been after all the closures from fires, budget issues, algae blooms, and fewer trout stockings, and I ended up catching my first bass of 2026 including both a Smallmouth and a Largemouth from the bank.
