I've seen several mentions of "lake lice" which certainly doesn't sound like fun. I've not had any experience with them the very few times I've been to Castaic...
Is it so bad that once you get there, you don't want to stay?

There a little bug that starts to itch at the back nap of your neck and the itch works it's way down to the middle of your back and further down, this usually happens when your about to set the hook on a fish.
There now are at least six related species of lice, the worst being the variety of Jinwakeboardest... to the Dadekistrentalboatest.
Castaic lake had a answer at first and penned them up in one area, now there everywhere, there worst on the weekends...
You might try some anti-lice ointment, some one here sales it on the boards can't remember who... good luck
I have found that a BBZ-1 on 50 lb Sufix Performance Braid can be an effective Lake Lice, aka Water Flea, Repellant.

I have more trouble with harbor-beach-lice.
I remember surf-fishing when this kid tries to skim-board in front of me, only to hit a concealed rock, and go face-first into the dry sand.
Another time I had both poles with me, and this jerk drives over my line on purpose.
So i took a big sinker, hooked it to the end of my big pole, with 20 pound test, and casted it out right where he would drive back.
Im just chillin there, feeling baked, and all of a sudden i hear "G-D-it!!" 20 times in a row, followed by a really funny sounding "EEouch!".
I look to the right and it's the same guy with 200 yards of old 20 lb test wrapped around his propeller.. So much smoke coming from the engine. Freakin hilarious
I like tobuy a few packs of sabikis and string them across the lake like a cloths line.....
