      Report: I got my boat in the water on riday to test out downriggers mounted to a bord attached to my ski boat.Warning!!The lake is just too shallow or downrigers. We trolled the lake between the dam and and the ski zone. the ish inder said the ish were at 40 t.using pink ladys and shallow minnow lures we ound we cought 5 trout in two days. The ish are there. but it seems they hit on small lures that look like little ish. anyway it was a nice overnighter and got to play with the boat camp and ish and thats what counts.
      City: Santa Clara

      Tips: Troll on top with lures that dive to about 5 to 10 t. minnow and trout look-a-likes work well.

I caught 2 Black Bass. A 14" 2 LBS spawning emale and a smaller one. No keepers. No one else got anything. Harrased by at least 3 Park Rangers...watch out. Heard they were catching big ones on the other side o the lake in the shallows. I never went. maybe next time.

      Report: Wasn't in the mood or a long drive this morning, so I hit Coyote. Decent topwater bite or 13-14in ish.Cought 14 ish rom sun up to 9:30am. The F'n jet skie brigade showed up and ran me out. It's worth an early morning trip though, just keep in mind that your time is limited this time o year. But you have a shot at pig i you hit it right.

      Report: Delvalle is not really a stronge lake for anything but trout and bluegill. Balck bass hit and miss. Stripers good luck. THe water is very warm right now so the fish are deep. The inspection is for only if you have a boat. No standing water or any water in your boat. Make sure youor lower unit is dry dry dry. I think the inspection is about $6-$7. Del valle can be a really good lake but it is tough in the summer weather.

      Report: I mainly fished for trout, fished from 7:00-1:00. The only thing we hooked up was one small trout that i cought walking the banks near the dam on a kastmaster, hook came out of his lip right before i could bring him on the beach. Through a spinner around for a while with no action. But early in the morning the trout were jumping everywhere, you couldnt look around without seeing fish jump, good sized fish too.

      Report: i just picked up fishing in my school club last year. i've never fished here, but i've been told that i can catch a lot of great smallmouth here (and it happens to be my new years resolution to catch one). im not really sure what lures to use except that they attack tubes but im not sure what else. any tips would be greatly appreciated by this kid. tight lines and good luck this season!

      Report: Got to the launch ramp around 9am and took a 10 minute run to my first spot. Started drop shotting with a 4 inch flat tail at 40-50 foot. Took about 20 minutes to pattern the fish and from there til I left was nailing them. Had to leave around 2pm and by then I had 24 fish, 6 smallies and the rest LM. Biggest was 4.05 and my best 5 was around 14lbs.

      Tips: Fish slow and feel confident about you bait. Need a graph to locate the fish.

      Report: Hey JCAB, I called the OEHHA in Oakland after I saw the posters in Lake Del Valle two weeks ago, there was a study done on four bay area counties, do not know which lakes, but chabot and del valle were tested, (also shadow cliffs but they could not get a good sample). Alameda county did not want to wait for an official report from OEHHA and decided to post flyers about mercury (the other counties agreed to wait), OEHHA will come out later once all the results are finalized in a couple of months (not sure). Basically the person told me mercury affects the nervous system, so developing children and pregnant woman should not eat a lot of fish, older men are not affected by it as much.

      Report: I dont think this lake is all that great of a place to catch bass. If you wanna catch some bass go to Shadow Cliffs and fish the back ponds. What also sux about del valle is that the boat patrol just stops every frickin boat there is that pasts by him. ITs ridiculous.

      Tips: Go Somewhere else this lake is ok

      Report: the catish should be pretty docile as the lake temp continues to drop. i anything, try the narrows with either cut bait or chicken liver
