Proposed Amendments to Sections 2.30, 5.00, 7.50, 8.00, and 703 Title 14, CCR: Inland Sport Fishing Regulations

The Fish and Game Commission proposes to amend a variety of regulations related to sport fishing for the 2025 season and onward. The project will reduce the daily bag limit for trout in Parker Lake and Willow Creek, reduce the minimum size limit for black bass in Lake Castaic, allow take of American Shad by spearfishing in the Valley District, simplify and streamline access to low-flow fishing information, and amend the fishing boundary for Deep Creek. These proposed regulatory changes are needed to effectively manage California’s sport fisheries, and correct errors and inaccuracies in the existing regulations to reduce public confusion and improve regulatory enforcement.
