Local Lake Reports
Big Bear Lake:
Been a consistent bite going on at Big Bear Lake. Plus Big Bear stocked more trout this week.Boat anglers have been doing well trolling lures or using slip bobber with nightcrawlers at different depths. Shore anglers are also hooking up along the North shore and by Observatory using inflated nightcrawlers and Power bait on Carolina rig with long leaders. Early morning or early evening is the best times to fish.
Green Valley Lake:
Trout bite has been excellent. Plus GVL just received a fresh stock of 1200lbs of rainbow trout on Wednesday July 3rd. Anglers have been having luck along the South shore and on both points. Mini jigs, Inflated nightcrawlers and Berkley micetails seems to be the ticket. Early morning is the best time to fish.
Arrowbear Lake:
Still reports of a few small schools of trout holding by the bridge and along the East shore. Try using mini jigs or inflated nightcrawlers in the early morning or evening.
Lake Gregory:
Silverwood Lake:
Catch of the Week
Kid’s Corner – Fishing Joke of the Week:
Question:
Where does a fish keep his money?
(Answer below)
WEEKLY RIG: Double Drop Shot
Double drop shot is a rig using 2 hooks tied directly to your line using palomar knots with hooks facing up. With tag end on bottom below the hooks with weight attached. This rig gives you an advantage of finding what depth the fish are holding. Plus you now have 2 baits at different depths doubling your chance of hooking up. You can cast out and work the rig back slowly while bouncing your rod tip. Or you can “Dead stick” meaning just let it sit.
Good luck this week folks, see you again next week!
