Dixon Lake Trout Derby
The 38th Annual Dixon Lake Trout Derby is runs Friday, December 2 to Sunday, December 4. Dixon Lake will be closed for fishing on Wednesday and Thursday, November 30 and December 1 in order to maintain the stock before the Trout Derby. Rangers will be strictly enforcing the shutdown, and anglers caught fishing will be subject to citation and ejection from the park for 72 hours.
Because Dixon Lake has been granted an Aquaculture Permit by the State of California Department of Fish and Wildlife, fishing licenses are no longer required. However, all anglers 8 years and older will need a daily lake fishing permit, which are available at the concession stand. Adult permits are $7, and Youth and Senior permits are $5. A second rod permit can be purchased for a $2 fee.
