A lot of excitement is being generated for the 2010 season on Big Bear Lake.  The lake has risen 3 feet and will continue to fill as the melt-off continues and the promise of a strong El Nino, with rain to come, lingers into spring.

The water temperature is about 40 degrees now and the fish are just starting to come out of their winter slumber.  Shore anglers on the North Shore are seeing some action for trout fishing off the bottom with PowerBait and nightcrawlers.  Keep you leader lengths short (12-18 inches) so the slow moving trout can find them. 

Check out the tournaments for 2010 on this site.  Register early so you don’t miss out on the chance for a trophy trout and great prizes!

Big Bear Marina is scheduled to open on April 3rd for the 2010 season.  The public launch ramps are scheduled for an April 1st opening.
