San Vincente Re-Opens Next Week!
 

Well, next week on the 5th San Vincente Res. will re-open after 7 years of raising the dam a 100 ft and since it was closed that means 7 years of un-interupted spawning. I have some buddies who have been working on it since the beginning and say it's very impressive.

I'm not in town so double check, but if your up for a local change to fresh water fishing for a day it sounds like it has some potential.

No anglers except poachers for SEVEN YEARS!

Wh...WHAT!? That will be an EPIC BITE. Loved San Van back in the day. Gotta find out abt sit on tops...Jim

Very Exciting. I love San V.

My dad used to drop me off there in the early morning before I could drive and I would ask boaters to drop me and my float tube off. I would spend the rest of the day kicking back to the launch and catching fish.

Should be pretty productive!

I can tell you it was a long walk up and over the hill to sneak in their at night back in the day :D I also used to deliver ice to all the SD Lakes and hated taking my ice truck up that hill. Nothing like having 4 pallets with 2000 pounds of ice each tipping toward the rear door. One trip I had a guy pop his clutch in front of me and his boat was not strapped to the trailer and ended up on the road:D........East County Goodness.

From the various websites they will allow SOT's, No SUP's".,rules appear to be the same as those in place at El Cap. $2 bucks!

If they are gonna open on the 5th they sure are keeping it a quite affair. Bite should be excellent and it has a pretty wide variety of species.

I think they mentioned on SDFish that once it opens its going to be like Barrett and you'll have to purchase a spot off Ticketmaster. No tourney fishing for the first 3 months. Now the 5th was the original date back in the day. It may not open till the beginning of the YT. I've been talking to a cpl game rangers and the local tackle shops and no one knows anything.

Here's a post from SDFish

I used to rent a boat, row to the island and rock hop stitching night crawlers. GREAT bass fishing! One day I hear this "swish...swish...swish..." and I'm like what the...? There's a deer passing right by me in the water swimming to the island. I wonder if that island is now completely underwater. EPIC!!! Jim

What day is it opening?

False rumors, not opening until Spring.
