California’s Hot Spot for Trout Fishing Trips is at Big Bear Lake

Big Bear Lake is expected to fill up to the brim after accumulating tons of precipitation this winter! Take advantage of tremendous springtime fishing action as snow naturally melts into the lake.

The water level will remain high and the fishing is ready to explode! The question is, are you ready to catch big fish? The brim-full lake is thriving with thousands of rainbow trout. In fact, Big Bear Lake is famous for its "PINK-MEAT HOLDOVERS."

There are many trout fishing techniques used on the lake from down rigging and lead core trolling on a fishing boat, to fly fishing and bait fishing from the inlets and shoreline. Anglers are amply served by six marinas that offer slips, boat rentals, rods, reels, fishing licenses, tackle and all other fishing gear. Charter fishing guides offer an in-depth experience for trollers and downriggers. Both public boat launch ramps are set to open April 1st.

Just last week Mike McCormick of the US Marine Corp landed a 15 inch beauty, and Thomas Alexander of the Navy caught his limit. The fishermen used a pontoon boat to find the hotspots.

In addition to the great trout action, Big Bear Lake has both largemouth and small mouth bass, making it a popular fishing retreat for bass anglers. Other varieties of fish include catfish, crappie, pumpkinseed
and bluegill.
