Big Bear Lake Marketing Association Fish Report: May 1, 2012
The weather has settled into the Spring mode now, and the rainbow trout action has been good this week with limits of rainbows for both trollers and bait anglers fishing from shore. Department of Fish and Game plant is set for this week.
Shore fishing: The top areas are still along the north shore from Stanfield to Windy Point, and a lot of fish are still stacked up where water is flowing into the lake.
Trollers: mostly working three to four colors of leadcore and Needlefish or Thomas Buoyants with the best action in the east end. Water temperature has been uniform at 47 degrees. The bass bite has been improving with both smallmouth and largemouth showing in fair numbers around docks, rocky areas, and other shoreline structures.
The May Trout Classic will be held May 19-20, and there will be a $5,000 tagged trout this season. Applications for entry are available now and only the first 500 entries will be accepted. Cost is $65 per person and all money will go toward the cast payout for the top nine biggest trout or into a fund to plant the lake with more rainbow trout, including trophy fish.
Fishermen Lodging close to the lake is available at Golden Bear Cottages resort. Special rate for fishermen and families. Call 909-866-2010

BIG BEAR LAKE SPRING FISHING REPORT: April 24, 2012

Get to Big Bear Lake this Spring as the temps start to warm up. The fish have been sleeping like polar bears and want some dang food; any food. We are seeing most of the action during the warmest time of the day and it adds up to early spring frenzy in the making. I have been seeing fish caught all over the Lake from the east to the west but I do believe as the east warms first the fish will sprint that direction. Fish are still stacked-up on the tributaries but as the inflow subsides they will give up on another unsuccessful spawn and go find something to eat. Dough baits are still the ticket on a sliding sinker in light colors. Don't forget not to use rope for your line. Try the lightest line you can stand because with the water clarity a screaming 17 feet they can see the rope. Also remember light colors when it is light and dark colors when it is dark, seems to still be holding true. Trout are active, so time the weather and come get lunch. The East Launch Ramp is open for business and is the only place to access the Lake by boat.

The marinas will be open for the rest of the fishing and boating season. The best boat rental coupons we have seen are for the guests at Golden Bear Cottages Resort. These historic resort cabins are located close to the lake on Big Bear Blvd. at Metcalf Bay. Phone 909-866-2010 www.GoldenBearCottages.com

The largemouth for some reason are pretty active right now and a few are showing up for you die-hard bass fisherman. Seems kind of early to me but the docks and rocks are holding willing to strike fish.

Big Bear Lake is a good producer of wild brown trout. Running clear and cool below Big Bear Dam, Bear Creek also supports a good population of rainbows and, some say, a few salmon. While I've never seen a salmon caught out of the stream, I know they exist in Big Bear Lake. So it is possible. Two trailheads east of Snow Valley Ski Resort provide good access to the stream below. While the fishing is good in the upper reaches of the stream, the further down you go the better it gets and the greater the ratio of browns to rainbows. This year, even before the runoff was complete, I met an angler down near the confluence with the Santa Ana that had caught and released a 19" brown along with a couple of nice 'bows. In the last few years with the improved water situations and nicer weather it could be even better in the years to come.

The crappie fishing has been epic this season which means next year we will see some slab daddies showing up. The mini jigs and worms seem to make it happen all summer long.

Catfish fishing has been completely off the charts all summer long. I have been wrong before but there may be some time left to throw some cut mackerel or a perfectly good hot dog out there to see what happens!

A wonderful old time fisherman told me recently that the fishing is the best it has ever been in his time fishing in Big Bear.

I took that as a complement and it made me feel real good about our Lake. The same day an hour later I got a nasty-gram that said that fishing has never been worse and I should learn how to do my job. So what I learned is that we should all be flexible in our approach to catching fish and what worked yesterday may not work today. So go deeper, get shallower, change baits, and find the magic for that day and you will put up better numbers consistently.

Catfish are screaming out of the water at the east end of the Lake. I stopped at the marsh the other night late to see what all the fisher people were doing up late at night.

CATCHING beautiful catfish, that is what they were doing. Go east and throw out that stinky-whatever and get in on the catfish frenzy. Nice large channel cats and numerous bullheads are being caught in the warmer shallows.

Big Bear Lake is for catching trout and this year has been a great one and keeps on going strong.(read the fish report above)

Big Bear Lake Fishing Report from the Big Bear Lake Marketing Association:

2012 Big Bear Lake Marketing Association news release:
Big trout are being reeled in on Big Bear Lake. Come up to fish.
as the 2012 fishing season gets even better...

Shore anglers along the North Shore from the dam to Juniper Pt. are doing well fishing off the bottom with a sliding egg sinker, short leader (12-18 inches) and PowerBait and/or nightcrawler pitched 10 to 20 feet from the shore. Those trolling on the surface or with leadcore form 1.5 to 2.5 colors are seeing action with the trout.

Located in the heart of the San Bernardino Mountains, Big Bear Lake offers some of the best early- and late-season trout fishing in Southern California. Summer still produces some fast and furious trout fishing but also throws three- to five-pound bass into the mix. Big Bear Lake also has numerous areas distinguished for their grassy shorelines, lily pads, submerged logs, and other fish-attracting structures favored by the lake's bass population. The walking or wading angler can easily access these spots, and a well-presented leech pattern or surface popper will often result in a jolting strike. Types of Fish: Trout, bass, catfish, crappie, and bluegill in this huge 3000 acre lake. Big Bear Lake is open for fishing 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. The Lake is regularly stocked with Rainbow Trout, with a limit of 5 per day. Other species in the Lake include large mouth bass, small mouth bass, bluegill, black crappie, sunfish, carp, channel catfish and pumpkinseed.
