Big Bear Lake Report

[DockRat]

saw at least 80 trout in shallow water.

I used to fish that creek every spring in the late 60's.
There was a steel structure on the inland side and that area and up creek a little more was good. Our cabin was about 1/2 mile towards the dam from there.

Why don't you fish it anymore?



As for the report, its nice to know the report helped some of you make decisions on where to fish.

Thanks for the report! Glad you got on some fish, soon enough it will be trolling time!
I wonder, now that DFW is stocking sterile triploids, will the law about fishing the streams at spawn change since there will eventually be no more trout spawn???

They were not in the tunnel, but next to it. I was told 100 yards from the tributary. What is the rule?

You can fish at lake level. So that me you can fish right at the pipe. But you can not toss into the pipe. I was fishing right next to an inlet at big bear and the dfg came by and did nothing. All he told us was not to cast in the stream.

Thanks for the info. It kind of feels like cheating though casting where there are so many damn fish. However, that couple did not catch any being there the whole day...so I guess not.

Anyone hit up Lake Gregory yet?

Thanks for the report. Did you see any carp cruising yet?

Did I? Oh my god! The dam had a whole damn lot of carp! I would say easily over a hundred just sitting on the south side and in the middle of the dam area. Maybe even over 200 hundred and some were large! All on the dam side of the white buoy line. I caught one with my super duper hooked onto the dorsal fin. Had a nice battle with the 4 or so pounder. Great size. Great battle. Loved it! There's a picture of it at the beginning of this thread! It was good practice for me when I hook up a PIG at SARL or Corona! Well...there's wishing anyways. One day my friends. One day!

Well, I guess I know what I'm doing this weekend. Time to sharpen my arrows, he he.

Sharpen them for sure. You might be able to get 2 carp with one arrow it so "dam" crowded. For me to hook one using a lure illustrates how many there were. They were mostly at surface and down to about 4 feet.

Good luck Skyler. Post some pics!

Sounds like it's on. Some of the locals were saying there are even more carp than last year. I'm heading up there friday.
