Fishing in Big Bear Lake

Big Bear Lake is a first-rate trout fishery and one of only a handful of Southern California lakes to be planted with rainbow trout on a regular basis. Big Bear Lake continues to receive approximately 2,000 lbs. of rainbow trout from the Department of Fish and Game (DFG) every two weeks, and averages about 150,000 to 200,000 lbs. of trout per year.

In addition to the great trout action, Big Bear Lake has both largemouth and smallmouth bass, making it a popular fishing retreat for bass anglers. Other varieties of fish include catfish, crappie, pumpkinseed and bluegill.

Fishermen looking for boat rentals are amply served by five marinas that offer fishing and pontoon boats. Licenses and tackle can also be purchased at the marinas. Licensed fishing guides offer a more in-depth fishing experience for trollers and downriggers. Both public boat launch ramps on the North Shore are set to open April 1 and will remain open through November. The lake is also accessible from all shoreline vantage points for easy fishing from shore.






Big Bear Lake will once again honor the Department of Fish & Game's Free Fishing Days this year on Saturday, July 4 and Monday, September 7 (Labor Day). A fishing license is not required to fish the lake on these dates. Big Bear Lake is one of few lakes in Southern California to offer this unique bonus for boaters and fishermen.
