DVL is very clear water with the bottom usually visible at 25'. The water level is also on the rise and with wind creates a shoreline mud line that acts like cover for bass to use.

There is a really good topo map available for DVL that shows all the humps, man made structure elements with 1' contour elevation available, valuable aide.

DVL is notorious for line shy bass during day light periods. As with every SoCal lake fishing pressure is an issue, however keeping your eyes open you can watch other skilled bass anglers catch bass and note the locations.
