Westlake Fishing
Although Westlake Lake is a catch-and-release lake, no fish may be removed from the lake except for invasive fish species, common carp. WLMA authorizes and encourages persons fishing the lake to catch, remove and dispose of common carp with disposal under WLMA guidelines (See Rule 2B and Rule 32 in the Lake Rules).
Westlake Lake is private and fishing is open to only those who display a current WLMA fishing badge. Property owners and residents in the Westlake Community may apply for a WLMA fishing badge, and they may also apply for guest fishing badges for others under their respective supervision. For contact details contact the WLMA office.
Also be advised that though Westlake Lake is a private lake, the California State Dept. of Fish and Wildlife under law requires you to have possession of a state fishing license, in addition to WLMA requiring its own fishing badge, in order to fish at Westlake Lake.
