Hit Big Bear Lake without my friend (sex or fish post) and caught 3 stockers and 2 holdovers. All were caught using a little fishing boat with a motor.
I tried trolling for about an hour. 2 were caught trolling about 6 colors down on a Thomas Buoyant red and gold. Both were my biggest trout! Both were definitely 2 pounders. What a great way to start the day!
I stopped trolling and decided to drift fish for a couple of hours. 2 were caught on inflated nightcrawler using a slip bobber set at about 20 to 28 feet down. Adjusted the depth beginning at 12 feet or so. Had multiple bites on the nightcrawlers but poor reaction on my part made me miss them. I guess I was enjoying the scenery a bit more than usual.
My last trout was caught on a wet fly about 5-6 feet down.
All trout were caught between 7-11am.
Too bad my friend did not make it. I will see him at work tomorrow and talk to him about the day.
