An improved weather pattern kept the Big Bear Bows on the chew this past week. Numerous trout from 4 to 6 pounds hit the scale at Big Bear Marina. Local angler Scott Eberhard of Big Bear Lake got top fish of the week and month honors with a 7.02 pound trout caught off Boulder Bay. The big bow hit a Dick Nite spoon trolled on flat lined mono. Scott will receive a gift certificate and Eagle Claw products. Another local Bob Lischke of Big Bear Lake landed a 5.82 pound bow while flat lining a CD Rapala in the rainbow trout pattern off of Lagonita Pt.

The upside of the wintry weather last week is that it brought the surface water temperature back down to an ideal 56 degrees. Oxygen is plentiful throughout the water column from east to west. The trout continue to hold in large numbers from the observatory to Lagonita Pt. and will continue to, until the water temperatures rise. With the fish on the surface and down to 15 feet, trollers are catching fish on flat lines lures, as well as down to 2 colors of leadcore. Bait anglers using a slip bobber system with Nitro and nightcrawlers suspended at that depth will get the best results.
