MERRY CHRISTMAS and HAPPY NEW YEAR FROM LAKE CUYAMACA

Our hours have changed. In December and January the Lake has waterfowl hunting every Wednesday, all day and on Sunday morning. That means we are closed all day on Wednesdays and do not open for fishing on Sundays until 10:00 am. The tackle shop opens at 8 am weekdays and at 6:00 am on Saturday.

On Sunday 7 ducks were taken, 5 ruddy, 1 canvasback, and 1 buffle head. There are still some slots available. The price is $75.00 for a one day hunt. If you are interested, please call the District Office at 619-447-8123. Ask for Georgia.

We had a little rain and snow/sleet on Tuesday. It is sunny, with no wind but still cool today. The trout are still biting all over the lake.
