Fishing at Lake Del Valle has been very good the past few days for Rainbow Trout, Catfish, Stripers.

Crappie and Panfish can also be caught near trees and rocks you would want to use Red Worms or Night Crawlers.

Clarity of water: Murky about 2-foot visibility near the Marina, once you get past the Lower Narrows it clears up and it is about a 10-foot visibility.
