This SUCKS!
From an e-mail I received....
Weekday Closure to Begin October 1
Starting October 1, 2007 through April 30, 2008, San Vicente Reservoir will be closed on weekdays due to Emergency Storage Project construction activities.
For the month of October, only water contact activities will be allowed on the reservoir on Saturdays and Sundays.
The city of San Diego's winter schedule will begin November 1, 2007, which allows fishing activities only on Saturdays and Sundays.
The reservoir will be closed for construction based on the following schedule:
The reservoir will reopen to recreation sometime between 2014 and 2017, as soon as the water level reaches the new boat launch.
For more information about the construction projects at San Vicente, go to

espinfo@sdcwa.org.
Can't get the schedule graph to paste, but it basically says the lake will be open weekends ONLY, starting Oct 1st. Water contact only - no fishing Oct 1 through Oct 31. After that,Nov 1st through April 2008, it will be open weekends only, for FISHING ONLY - no water contact!. Aaahhhhh!
In April, it *may* go back to another schedule where it will be available on some weekdays, but I really don't see this happening. Last time I spoke to the water authority, they said that in 2008, as long as the water is up to the ramp, we should have the normal schedule. They said tentatively that they will begin to drain the water possibly sometime in May 2008. Once the water gets below the ramp, they will close the lake completely.
This all means that everyone in the county will have only 1 lake (El Capitan) to use for water contact activities. San Vicente has a limit of 100 boats, El Cap's limit is 35 boats. Now all the people that have used San V will be heading to El Cap for one of the 35 spots. I can see that working real good!
Time to move the hell out of this water activity-unfriendly county!
Sorry for venting. Just sucks a$$!
I can e-mail the complete e-mail if someone wants to see it.}}
