Del Lago Park Lake - Tulare, CA

Lake Information

Fish Species: Rainbow Trout
Del Lago Park Lake, located in central Tulare, CA, is a well-maintained urban fishery that provides accessible, family-friendly angling opportunities throughout the year. The lake is regularly stocked with rainbow trout during the winter and early spring by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife, offering reliable action for beginning and intermediate anglers.

In warmer months, the lake transitions into a productive warmwater fishery, supporting catfish, bluegill, and largemouth bass. Its compact size and clear layout allow for easy bank fishing using simple rigs like bait-and-bobber, dough bait for trout, and stink bait or nightcrawlers for catfish.

The park surrounding the lake includes walking paths, shaded seating, restrooms, and recreational facilities, making it an ideal destination for family outings. It is especially popular during stocking events, when catch rates peak.

Fishing is subject to state regulations, and anglers 16 and older must possess a valid California fishing license. While Del Lago is not intended as a trophy fishery, it serves as a critical gateway for introducing youth and casual anglers to the sport in a safe, controlled environment.

Del Lago Park Lake exemplifies the value of urban fishing programs in California—providing convenient, well-managed access to recreational angling within a city setting.
