Lake Barrett Located at the confluence of Cottonwood and Pine Valley Creek, Barrett Reservoir is in a remote area approximately 35 miles east of San
Diego.
Lake Barrett is unique among publicly operated reservoirs. Located behind locked gates in a remote area of San Diego County and closed for many years, access
has been offered on a limited basis by reservation only since 1994.
Along with Upper Otay, it is one of only two reservoirs in the region that operates under highly restrictive regulations designed to protect both the fishery
and the quality of the fishing experience. The lake's regulations call for the use of barbless artificial lures only and the release of all fish in this "zero
kill" fishery.
These regulations were designed primarily to protect the last significant population of northern-strain largemouth black bass in the area. In virtually all
other waters in Southern California, these fish have been replaced by the Florida-strain version of largemouth black bass. Other species include bluegill,
bullheads, and both white and black crappie. Threadfin shad and silverside minnows are the primary forage fish. Fish catch information is updated weekly.
As a result of low rainfall and runoff totals in recent years the reservoir is low and well below the 811 acres of surface area it boasts at capacity.
No private boats are allowed at Barrett. Rental boats are 14 feet long and come with 5.0 HP motors. If you want to bring your own motor, maximum size is 25
HP. Maximum capacity is four people.
