It is now March, 2 more months and Lake Barrett will open. Ending months ofwaiting to fish it again. I fished Lake Barrett for the first time last year and fished it once more after. First time I fish it, caught a few fish only because I was not familiar with the lake. The second time was so much better, found some great spots. We found a cove that was just loaded with fishes. We were pitching plastics (lizard, worms, creatures, beavers) next to tullies. We were fishing them texasrigged with weights & weight-less on the Senkos. But the most productive was the dropshot rigs with roboworms in margarita mutator color.

Lake Barrett is unique among publicly operated reservoirs, located in locked gates in a remote area of San Diego County. It is one of only two reservoirs in the region that operates under strict regulations to protect both the quality of the fishery and fishing experience. The fishing regulations at this "zero kill" fishery calls for the use of barbless hooks and artificial lures only with all fish release.

This is a great place to fish if you are able to get reservations. Ticketmasterhandles all reservations for Lake Barrett fishing. The lake is open onlyonWednesdays, Saturdays and Sundays during the fishing season of May through September.Reservations are available a month in advanced, always beginning on thesecond Tuesday of the month at 7:00 pm. One reservation is good for up to four people andboat & motor included. I found it to be a good idea to bring in a trolling motor & battery with it. The boats are your regular aluminum lake boats which is really not ideal for four anglers, so what usually happens is that 2 people with fish on the boat & theother 2 fish from float tubes or from shore. Also, due to the fact that road to the lake passes through private property, allparties must be escorted on and off the premises.
