The Friends of Castaic Lake (FOCL) is a separate region consisting of five charity tournaments; National Bass West donates money back for the FOCL for lake and habitat improvements. This region has an Angler Of The Year Race where the winning team gets their basic entries paid for next year. All five tournaments qualify for the year end Tournament Of Champions!

​

We are excited to announce that the 2023 FOCL tournaments will be held on Saturday nights from 6pm-12am!
