Nestled in the thick pine forest of Plumas County, Round Valley Reservoir at first glance appears to be a prime spot to cast a lure for brook, brown or rainbow trout. However, this pretty 350 acre lake, set at 4600 feet in elevation, is instead a warm water fishery where anglers catch big numbers of largemouth bass, bluegill and channel catfish every year.

It is the abundant bluegill at Round Valley that draw many families from throughout northern California to camp and fish here. This is a lake where "catching," rather than just "fishing," is the norm, so it is an ideal spot for a father and mother to bring their children to fish.

To better manage the lake's bluegill population, the Round Valley Lake Resort and Indian Valley Chamber of Commerce have held a bluegill derby for children for the past four years. The largest number of young anglers in the event's history, 102, participated in the fourth annual bluegill derby. Visit our Kids Retreat page for information on the derby.

Bass are caught here year round, but October is generally the best time to fish, according to Carter. Spring, when the water warms up after ice out, is also a good time to fish.
