Sweetwater Authority GM Carlos Quintero and fellow board member Steve Castaneda decided to drain Loveland Reservoir to near dead pool for 2nd time. National forest service did a land swap in late 90's but stipulation was to allow fishing. Can't fish if no water. Carlos and Steve stated that they control the water & land, and for the people of East San Diego County to live with it. Carlos Quintero makes over $300K a year as General Manager.

I agree but water contact is ok

I'm sure there's some kind of a cost factor between allowing kayaks, tubes, etc. and bass boats...Back in the day, the city did everything in their power to ensure San Diego had world class fishing, especially bass fishing...Now, it seems they do everything in the power to destroy it...................:angery:
 
Walked down there with you in high school before it was open for fishing.

My old buddy, Cal and I, used to fish it in the 70's...We'd come in from the south and take an old fire road to the lake...We affectionally called it "Bitch Hill"...What a fishery!........ ;)

We did get caught once...They just told us "No fishing" allowed............:angery:

ps...Is it still poaching, when you don't keep anything?

In 1998, environmental scientists from the University of Massachusetts Amherst proposed the concept of poaching as an environmental crime and defined as any illegal activity that contravenes the laws and regulations established to protect renewable natural resources, including the illegal harvest of wildlife with the intention of possessing, transporting, consuming or selling it and using its body parts. They considered poaching as one of the most serious threats to the survival of plant and animal populations. Wildlife biologists and conservationists consider poaching to have a detrimental effect on biodiversity both within and outside protected areas as wildlife populations decline, species are depleted locally, and the functionality of ecosystems is disturbed.
