Trout fishing on Big Bear Lake improved this week as high pressure built rising the surface water temperature to 51 degrees. With the bottom water temperatures the same as the top and oxygen levels high threw out the water column the fish are scattered throughout the lake. "Trout Triangle" defined by Eagle Pt., the Observatory and Lagonita Pt. remains the most productive area. Trollers with leadcore down to three colors with Rapalas in firetiger and chartreuse colors, as well as, Needlefish in fire pearl, and red dot frog have scored easy limits. Keep an eye on the areas around Metcalf Bay and Windy Pt as large schools of trout are showing there and should go on the bite soon. Shore anglers working the north shore from Juniper Pt. to the dam have also seen limits soaking Nitro bait and inflated night crawlers on two to four foot leaders.

Greg Long of Yucaipa weighed in a 5.09 pound rainbow at the Big Bear Lake Official Weigh Station on 4/25. Greg's fish was taken near the west ramp on a CD-7 fire tiger Rapala (photo below).
