Jonas Staggs Posted February 6, 2020 Posted February 6, 2020 was browsing the rules and regulations at diamond valley lake. Rule number 10 states no sit on top kayaks allowed? Thats strange as arent most fishing kayaks sit on top? Does anyone on here fish from a SOT kayak there? It also states the kayak must be 10 ft long? I know a lot of the kayaks labeled as 10 footers are actually a few inches short of 10 ft. So what gives? Kayaks and canoes, at least 10 feet long, non-bailing and with seating for all passengers inside the boat, are allowed. No sit-on-top kayaks are allowed. http://www.dvlake.com/rules01.html Quote
Super User WRB Posted February 7, 2020 Super User Posted February 7, 2020 Typical regulations for SoCal area public lakes, it was 12' minimum before kayaks became popular. Low to the water watercraft mixed with recreational power boats isn't a safe mix! Tom 1 Quote
Super User JustJames Posted February 8, 2020 Super User Posted February 8, 2020 I guess sit inside is less chance for body contact of water compare to sit on top. Another reason float tube is not allow. Lake skinner is the same, only lake Perris and pudding stone that allow but not sure now. 1 Quote

contium Posted March 11, 2020 Posted March 11, 2020 To be fair, these reservoirs were created to store drinking water. We are lucky we get to use them in any recreational fashion. Quote
Super User WRB Posted March 16, 2020 Super User Posted March 16, 2020 Castaic lagoon and the main upper lake is a world class bass fishery that allows kayaks. Stop whining and start driving. Tom 1 Quote
