Question from a spin-reeler

You might drive the extra 7 minutes up to Lake Berryessa. There are several access points between the dam and the first resort. Try the Capell Cove access on the other side of the lake,near Turtle Rock. There is some pretty "bassy" water there.

As far as I know the lake is fishing about as slow as the creek, as far as where to go the area near Diversion dam is probably your best bet because the old creek channel runs right near the road. Use a canoe or a foat tube if you have either and try the area upstream of the bridge next to the weed channels. Hope this helps a little, good luck. Greg

They stopped stocking the Lake sometime ago, however I've been told by the Ranger some people are still pulling a few out near the Diversion dam off of Putah Creek Rd, there are a few spots to sit along the road. I have had some luck near Monticello Dam under the overcrossing and closer to the dam. You can walk upstream towards the dam on the opposite side of the camp ground. Cast upstream and float an egg downstream. Good Luck.

You do know that bait fishing is illegal on Putah Creek right?

Here are the regs for the Creek, from Monticello Dam to where Lake Solano begins. LS is not included in the special regs:
