del valle fish and chill?

Agreed, the place lends itself to chillin more than fishing...  and I'm no fan of the inspection, parking, and fishing fees... 

I was just trying to encourage folks to go ahead and plan something instead of waiting for others to do it.

personally, i think dv sucks for fishing 

hater   

personally, i think dv sucks for fishing  the only really good things going for it is no water skiing and its central location for bay area and valley people.

Ah come on Ben, have you given it a fair shot?  Please elaborate, why does it suck for fishing?

I personally really like the lake but that is not secret.  Obviously it has the 2 points that you mentioned going for it but it also has diversity in species.  One could fill their entire freshwater card and half of their AOTY card should they choose.  There are some large - granted they are elusive - striped bass.  And the occasional monster ... er ... mutant trout.  Of the 2 dozen or so times I've fished it, I've only had 2 really good days but I've never been skunked.

Definite down side - expensive!

EVERYONE IS RIGHT!
inspections and fees suck. but this is mooch's and franks gig.  :bigsmurf:somebody poke them.

its not GREAT.
you are a hater. 
you will need your waterproof not water resistant gear.. tent etc..
its more about the food and the comradeship.

Do Mooch and Frank even own kayaks still?

i saw them both at HMB touney, Frank has been MIA since the last DVF&C and Mooch?  no yak or van= no Mooch, call him Joel from now on.

I'll let Mooch borrow one of my kayaks if he goes....
What about a Fish N Chill the O'Niell Forebay group sites?
