Briones is the 'bluer' one on the right. It's closed to public access (I think for drinking water purposes -- or just some other (wacko?) environmental reason), much like Crystal Springs west of Hwy 280, or San Antonio & Calaveras between Pleasanton & Milpitas (Sunol?).
I'm not sure what the 'trespassing' penalty is on these ponds if caught, but I'm guessing it's well over $200, and you're likely to have your fishing gear confiscated, as well!
Now, that's a stiff enough penalty to keep *me* from trying, but if you're one of those brave, reckless souls, I say "GO FOR IT"! I know many before me have tried, and lived to tell the story. Let us know how you do!!! (I'm not sure I really want to know, though -- it'd probably just make me *more* insane about it!). }(

I'm still wanting to find a 'point of contact,' shall we say, at the San Jose Water Company -- there're a couple of ponds managed by them that have 'No Trespassing' signs all around 'em, but I understand they'll let you fish there if you know someone in the company. A guy I met at the Sportsmen's Expo told me they have an annual SJWC Bass Derby at one pond in particular, where they have a whole slew of people out there for a big weekend BBQ & all -- the guy had some pictures of the hawgs out of this pond, and they're HUGE! I've scoped the place out, but never had the nerve to toss a plug out there.
"Please -- I just want to make a *FEW CASTS*!!!" ;(
I once fished a no-access water district pond back in the early 80's, up above Alum Rock Park in SJ, where, once we crawled under/through the barbed-wire fence, my first cast -- with a *Hula Popper* of all things -- landed me an 8+, which at the time was far and away the biggest bass I had ever caught, and was quite the thrill (unfortunately, it didn't taste all that great -- these were the days before I had ever heard the term 'catch-&-release'!) :o
Boy, it'd be great to get back up there sometime! (Ah, to be young again!) - jeff
