Vallecito Reservoir Fishing Report
Start with a brown trout or pike presentation in a legally accessible area you can verify on site, where the forecast 7 mph wind remains manageable.
Most reasonable to target: Brown trout, northern pike, and yellow perch. The current lake-page modeled surface temperature of 62°F (updated 08/03/2026) falls inside the listed reference ranges for these three species (brown trout 50–65°F, northern pike 55–70°F, yellow perch 50–68°F). Rainbow trout are near the upper edge of their listed range (50–60°F), and smallmouth bass are just below theirs (65–75°F). This is a thermal-suitability inference, not a confirmed activity observation—the 62°F value is a model forecast, not a direct measurement, and no recent dated catch evidence is available to verify current feeding.
