This little gem in the Livermore foothills is our home lake. Del Valle offers great trout, catfish and striper fishing, with trout being the main focus. Mostly we troll rapalas in the winter/fall/spring and soak bait (powerbait, power eggs and worms) in the summer months when the trout go deep. Catfish can be a safe bet as this lake is loaded with em!! Cats can be caught around submerged logs with chicken livers or anchovies. When the trout bite is tough, cats usually will save the day!!
