The Diamond Valley Lake (DVL) Region consists of five tournaments at Diamond Valley Lake. This region has an Angler Of The Year Race where the winning team gets their basic entries paid for next year. All five tournaments qualify for the year end Tournament Of Champions!

 

Steve Jeffries is the tournament director for the DVL region and has fished many bass tournaments with National Bass West.

The staff members of the DVL region include Christopher Nickerson and Tom Zaan. Steve and his staff look forward to seeing you at their events.

In 1998, California Department of Fish and Game Biologist Mike Giusti began cultivating a model, multi-tier fishery. Black bass, perhaps the favorite quarry of Southern California fishermen, were established with broodstock in a rearing pond, built in what is now the lake bottom. With that head start, the first spawn are now as large as three pounds.

Water began pouring into the reservoir in November 1999 and the lake was filled by early 2002. Diamond Valley Lake holds 800,000 acre-feet, or 260 billion gallons of water. By comparison, Lake Havasu, on the Colorado River, holds just 648,000 acre-feet or 201 billion gallons.
