The fishing this week was very good, with the fish spread out from the dam all the way down to the east end. Fish were Bob caught from the surface, down to four colors.

Bob “Big Fish” Miller had a super week! Bob is a local fishing expert, and probably catches more big fish out of this lake than any other angler! Along with several average size fish, Bob caught 12  fish over 2 lbs. with the largest 6 lbs. 2 oz. , and the great thing about Bob is that he releases all big fish! The best eating size fish from the lake are the holdovers up to about 18″; so he releases all the bigger fish.

Hot lures this week were # 3 & # 5 Rapalas (Floating , Count Downs, and Jointed) , Roostertails, and Needlefish. Best colors of Rapalas were gold/black, brown Trout, Hot Muddler Minnow, and Brook Trout. Fishing in April & May on Big Bear Lake is as good as just about any where you can fish! So come on up and have a great time.
