I know they emptied and dredged San Dimas Reservoir sometime last year and was curious about the condition it's currently in so I went up there a few days ago and checked it out. Tons of bird life, lots of ducks and Canadian Geese. The water that's in there appears to be just runoff from the small creek that feeds it. Didn't try to fish it, access to the water is too steep and rough. There's "no trespassing" signs posted all over the construction fencing near the dam but right where the fence ends, there is a short and well worn dirt trail leading to the cement launch ramp. Not sure if this trail is from the workers or trespassers, maybe both? The only feasible access without trespassing would be to park at the ranger station at the end of the road and hike in from the north side, but even that might be difficult because the back of the reservoir appeared extremely swampy/marshy. Would love to do some exploratory fishing there though, but I'll save it for another day. I didn't talk to rangers or anybody, no one around. Here's a few pics:
