a banner across the Lower Otay Reservoir city website says closed on 2/19 due to algae bloom.

Still open? Didn't see any recent reports so didn't want to drive that wonderful road for no reason

Thank you for all of the replies!

Fished Lower Otay last Wednesday and had a decent day as far as numbers go. Water temps pushing over 79 degrees and pretty stained down the Harvey Arm. Lots of blowups right at the bank and we had most of our success with finesse like weightless Senko and Neko rigs. Decided to throw a jackhammer w ...

Way to go!!! 18 before 7am, damn.

Meant to include that all were caught on soft plastics. Tried maybe 10 other lures (jerk bait, Sammy, jack hammer, whopper plopper, mini-jig to name a few) with no bites other than on a small paddle tail SB tossed into a group of busting fish but it came unbuttoned.

Thank you Vinny. I am embarrassed by the number of times we have fished this lake with nothing over 3#s. Since last year we have had much better fish and much better fights. Hopefully the days of this being the lake of the clones is over. Always good to see your reports!!

what a day!!! Great job Vinny.
