New Fishing Regulations for Lake Davis [ul] [li]New limit on trout: 10 per day/10 in possession [li]Immediately kill caught pike and return to the lake instead of turning them in to DFG. [/li][/ul]
The daily bag limit for trout has been doubled to 10 per day at Lake Davis in Plumas County through the end of the summer.
The increase, recently adopted by the Fish and Game Commission and approved by the Office of Administrative Law to take effect on Thursday, May 10, comes as DFG prepares to treat the reservoir with rotenone to eradicate the predatory, non-native northern pike. Lake Davis is the only body of water in California where northern pike are known to exist.
Raising the daily bag limit will give anglers hoping to catch a good number of trout greater opportunities to do so before our pike eradication project begins. The higher limit for trout will allow for maximum use of this resource, which would otherwise be lost during an eradication project.
While the daily take limit has been increased, the statewide possession limit of 10 trout remains in effect. No changes have been made to take or possession limits for any other species in Lake Davis or for trout in any other waters.
