Heads UP

[sportyg]

If any of you hit the Coachella Valley, don't fish the canals. They are giving tickets too persons who do CVWD doesn't want people fishing them even though fisherman have been fishing them for many, many years. This just started a couple days ago.

Signs have been up for years, but nothing has ever been enforced...CVWD did purchase a lot of mediation lands, that would cause this change...Maybe a call to them would help.

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say it's because people have been leaving a mess for someone else to clean up.

They are even ticketing people where there are no signs. They still are trying to get the lake closed to the public, but are not winning that battle as far as I know. Time will tell. Desert Valley Outdoors (DVO) is working on these issues.

Not the lake the canals around the coachella valley area. People have been fishing them for years a lot of people caught their first fish out of these canals. But this CVWD director they have now wants to shut everything down. Even though the water is federal, and a good deal of it is not posted and can be accessed.

You said, "They still are trying to get the lake closed to the public"....And I asked, what lake...

Well then...Good luck in a court of law, if it's not posted and can be accessed...Do you personally know someone who got a citation?

That really sucks, I caught my first catfish in one of those canals when I was 6. California sucks the fun out of everything.

He is still trying to close down the lake. Same lake I have been posting about Lake Cahuilla, now has added the canals. I don't, but I know people who do know people who have gotten tickets. As far as I know one can still fish the canals under Imperial Valley Water District by the way. Just be sure of which water district your in before you fish.

I don't know highland canal, but if it is in CVWD's district then yes.
