Was a great experience, I went with my son on father's day to fishing, the guys in the Visitor Center were really nice, was our first time and we rented a boat, they gave us all the information very kindly. We weren't luck fishing but, we spend a great day, it is a beautiful place. Thanks to Jason and the other guys.

Really beautiful place but if you come fishing its only good if you go on a boat. Anywhere you do fish on foot is going to be a hike and a pain to walk around with all the fishing gear since you will be going up and down hills.

About San Vicente Reservoir

Nestled in the heart of San Diego County, the San Vicente Reservoir is a gem waiting to be explored by nature enthusiasts, anglers, and those simply looking to unwind by the water. Known for its stunning, sprawling landscape and impressive fishing opportunities, San Vicente offers one of the best environments for both recreation and relaxation. Visitors can enjoy a range of activities with ease and convenience thanks to the accommodating staff at the Visitor Center, who are always on hand to assist newcomers and seasoned visitors alike. Whether you're considering trying your luck at hooking a largemouth bass or seeking the adrenaline rush of catfishing, the reservoir is touted as one of the best locations in California, if not the country, for these catches.

The serene environment and natural beauty make San Vicente Reservoir a memorable destination for all ages. Plan your visit to San Vicente Reservoir for a picturesque adventure filled with the thrill of fishing, peaceful picnic spots, and the warm hospitality of the friendly staff.
