Lake Elevation: 1689.66
Surface water temp: 82-85 degrees
Fish Plants: Scheduled trout plants will resume when surface temps decrease.
Lake Hours: 6:15am -- 6:45pm
Weather: Temperatures have been in the 70's in the morning and rising to the mid 90's in the afternoon.
BASS
When it comes to bass fishing it doesn't get any better than DVL! The morning bite is wide open on a variety of topwater and shad baits: Spooks, Rapala X raps, Owner tango dancers, and shad flukes on underspins or scroungers. The drop shot rig is a mainstay for mid day with oxblood and purple varieties being the most reported colors. Yamamoto senkos and ikas in watermelon or pumpkin are great baits for the afternoon.
TROUT
DVL anglers saw few trout this week. Most recent reports have them between 30 and 60 feet on the west side of the lake. Nightcrawlers, Rapalas, and spoons are a few of the most common summer trout baits.
STRIPER
This is undoubtedly the best summer of striper fishing DVL has seen in its 6 year reign. Anglers are reporting hundreds of pounds of striper with an average weight of 12 pounds per fish. The hot baits are Krocodiles, kastmasters, needlefish, flukes with scroungers, and a whole host of topwater baits. You can spot fish the boils or troll near the west dam and the inlet tower for big striper. Kevin Deemer of Hemet caught a 15.25 pound striper fishing with a Kastmaster near the inlet. Honree and Evan Davis caught a 12 pound striper fishing with a Kastmaster. Oscar Rodriguez of Ontario caught a 15.16 pound striper fishing near the tower with a spoon. Mark Franco of Yucaipa caught a 15 pound striper fishing with a spoon. Cody Palheggi of Upland caught his two biggest striper fishing with a Rapala near the tower.
CATFISH
Fishing at DVL for a channel or blue cut bait will do. Anchovies, Mackerel or shrimp won't leave your line limp. The attenuator is the best place to anchor to catch a cat just like that.
PANFISH
Bluegill is bold but crappie is spotty. Shore anglers should fish in the twigs with worms or jigs. From a boat fish the dams with a worm and a float.
