There's something fishy going on in Big Bear Lake California. When you stay at Marina Resort, you'll find the best that Southern California has to offer. Our waters are famous for their rainbow trout, smallmouth bass, largemouth bass, channel catfish, carp, bluegill, blue catfish, and black crappie.
Throughout the year, the California Department of Fish and Game stocks the lake on a regular basis. In May, the Fishing Association of Big Bear Lake generously stocks the Lake with trout in celebration of the annual May Trout Classic. The entry fees for this exciting fishing event supply important funds for fish plants, artificial habitats and conservation projects. Local businesses whose goal is to create a premier fishing environment in Big Bear Lake also donate money to this exciting event.
While trout predators are often a problem in other parts of California, at Big Bear Lake, the only predators are limited number of bald eagles and the occasional bass that is actually large enough to eat trout. According to ESPN Outdoors, Big Bear Lake has one of the most successful put and grow fisheries in the entire State of California. Furthermore, Big Bear Lake is one of the rare lakes with a location south of the Eastern Sierra, where trout are the dominant fish in the waters.
Apparently, the waters of Big Bear lake have an extremely high level of nutrients which facilitates rapid growth amongst the trout. While all of these assets are important to fisherman, perhaps the most exciting thing about a Big Bear Lake Fishing vacation is the chance to stay at the Marina Resort.
