Hi! I live in Cupertino - nice to meet you.

Last weekend I went up your way to Lake De Valle. Usually great fishing there, but a 10mph speed limit.

In Morgan Hill is Anderson reservoir. It's the biggest lake around here but that's not saying much. People fish, ski, wakeboard and tube on it, though. Summer weekends require reservations. (Google it) Weekdays are fine.

Clear Lake is a ways away, but is nice in spring/early summer. But it's shallow, and the weeds get bad as summer goes on and/or the water level drops. It's never crowded, even on 4th of July and Memorial day, as lodging is scarce.

Best of luck to you!

Dave

Most people I know go to Lake Berryessa. 20 mins east of napa, 40 mins north of fairfield.

Nice, warm, kinda crowded sometimes, but well worth it.

My fiance and I took my 8ft addictor out there on tues, had the lake all to ourselves, water was like glass.
