Fishing Information

A California fishing license is not required to fish at Dixon Lake, but you must purchase a daily fishing permit each day from the concession stand before you start to fish.

• Adults (16 and older): $10 per day
• Seniors (60 and older): $7 per day
• Youth (ages 8 to 15): $7 per day
• Children under 8: Free (must fish with an adult angler, and all fish caught are charged to the adult's permit)
• 2nd Rod Stamp: $5 per day (2nd rods are not allowed during trout derbies)

Attention: In order to protect Dixon Lake from invasive exotic Quagga mussels, there is still a ban on private watercraft and equipment that could have been exposed to mussels. Restricted equipment includes private boats, canoes, kayaks, float tubes, trolling motors, fish finders, anchors, and other equipment that contacts the water. There is no body contact allowed with the waters of Dixon Lake at any time.

Remember, consuming alcohol and smoking are prohibited at all times in day-use areas, on the shore, or on boats. Violations of this rule will result in ejection from the park.
