This past week brought QUALITY size rainbow trout and decent fishing any time of day for us. Late morning and mid day seemed to be the best times overall for conditions and number of fish caught. We trolled the south shore from Gilner Pt to Papoose Bay and most the rainbow trout were hitting from 3ft-15ft from Metcalf Bay to Boulder Bay. Night crawlers were the hottest ticket and at the top of the menu all week long. Detail in the rigging/leaders, quality bait and patience when reeling in all helped when trying to keep the fish on the hook! Varying speed and turns also kept us getting into doubles and triples most trips. Little Warrior spoons in Green and Gold Gobie with silver finish when bright out, Scorpian Stinger spoons in Cat Dog and Purple Frog with copper finish when darker out , Tasmanian Devils in Pink/Purple and Yellow/Orange all at 3 colors on the leaded lines. Olive Flies, PK Lures Prototype Flies and Rapalas in various patterns in shades of greens on the surface. Night Crawlers from 3ft-19ft on the down riggers. We trolled 21 hours this past week and averaged 7-18 fish on each three hour trip. The trout are fighting hard and many ranged 2-3lbs. On June 4th we took eight Boy Scouts out and they each landed 2 fish within 3 hours no problem following great instructions and working as a team during double hookups! The weather is spectacular and the fish are biting. Call Lucky Bear Fishing Charters at 909-866-7303 for guided fishing charters on Big Bear Lake.
