The bass spawning season is upon us and the angling opportunities are plentiful at the Lake. The final stock of the year is set for March 20 with Chaulk Mound delivering fish from Nebraska. Fishing has been outstanding this year with lots of large trout landed over the past 4 months. See the photo at the right of young lake angler Tyler Smith with his 10 lb. 8 oz. trout taken on December 28th.
Bass Fishing
It's that time of year for warming lake temperatures and bass moving into the shallows to spawn. Every spring, from March 1 to June 1, Lake Mission Viejo anglers are required to promptly release all bass caught to the same place from whence they are caught in order to maximize spawning success.
LMV rules prohibit anglers from fishing within 15 feet of any private dock, bulkhead, or beach area around the lake. Lifeguards strictly enforce fishing rules, thus providing a safe and enjoyable fishing experience for all LMV members. Thanks to your cooperation, LMV now enjoys World Class bass fishing status!

20th Annual Fishing Derby - December 28, 2012
Photos from Friday's 2012 Annual Kids' Fishing Derby
are viewable in the Events Gallery.
The 20th Annual Kids' Fishing Derby was held on Friday, December 28 under blue skies and cool temperatures. The popular event found 161 eager young anglers spread out over the LMV docks to test their skills against the big Nebraska-raised Rainbow Trout delivered the day before the tournament. Lake Biologist Tom Buckowski corralled a batch of trout to remain safely overnight in the launch area which ensured good fishing for the derby on Friday.
The annual Holiday event is designed especially for kids from 3-10 years of age, giving many of them their first opportunity to land a trophy Lake Mission Viejo trout. Lots of fish were landed during the two hours of tournament fishing.
The fish were very nice, weighing 1 to 5.40 pounds each. Competition was close this year and prizes were awarded to the top three anglers in each age division. The largest fish of the day was landed by 9 year old Ellie Parks, competing in the 9-10 year old division.
Every fish in the top 12 of the tournament weighed in excess of 2.4 pounds.
