FISHING Fishing is prime at Del Valle during winter, with regular trout plants from October through May by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife, and trophy plants supported by the Park District’s fishing permit program. Largemouth and smallmouth bass bite well in the spring and summer, as do a variety of panfish. A California state fishing license with stamps (available at most sport and bait shops) and an EBRPD Daily Fishing Access Permit are required for all anglers age 16 and above. Daily permits may be purchased at the park entrance kiosk or the marina. Senior Fish- ing Access Permits, good for one year, are available to those age 62 and above. Fishing is permitted only during posted park operating hours. NO FISHING is permit- ted in the streams entering the lake except during the regular state trout season (see State Regulations fishing booklet). The limit is five fish per day, per person.

All watercraft must be off the lake at the boat ramp one hour BEFORE the park closes. Private vehicles left in the parking lot after closing may be cited and/or towed. LAKE SPEED LIMIT ON THE WATER IS 10 MPH. Any size boat is allowed, but PERSONAL WATERCRAFT ARE NOT ALLOWED. Boats, operators, and passengers must meet and observe all applicable Coast Guard, state, and federal safety requirements. Watercraft must be registered. The water level at Lake Del Valle fluctuates seasonally. These fluctuations cause boating hazards due to considerable variations in the shoreline, therefore this map should not be used for navigation purposes. Food, bait and tackle, firewood, and rental boats are available at the eastside boat launch area. A tour boat offers tours of the lake featuring the natural and cultural history of this manmade reservoir.
