Yak-A-Bass books a Type A Berryessa weekend Oct. 24–25

California Fishing

Yak-A-Bass is not done after its Clear Lake Type A (Sept. 18–20) already posted. The California Department of Fish and Wildlife fishing-contests board lists an approved two-day Type A black bass permit for Yak-A-Bass on Lake Berryessa Oct. 24–25, 2026.

Type A still means more than 60 anglers, one Type A per water per day, three days max. This is a separate Berryessa weekend, not a second Clear Lake card. The same Saturday, American Bass holds an approved Type A on Clear Lake, so trail traffic that weekend splits between Lake County and Napa.

Confirm current Berryessa black bass rules before keeping fish, and contact Yak-A-Bass for entry.
