[cool]Went to Big Bear,Ca. for a long weekend with the wife,dog and my fishing buddy. Saw a great "Chicago" tribute band on friday night at Lake Arrowhead after setting up camp Then went to the awesome car show held in the village section of Big Bear saturday. Backup to Arrowhead for another concert saturday night for a great band called Venice. Nice three hour concert. Up at 5am sunday to fish Big Bear lake with my fishing buddy Dale(sealfish). Alittle slow at first then hit a small stocked trout by the dam. Then Dale hooks up with a nice 1lb10oz trout on the fly. Then soon came another small trout.Take a beer break and cast from shore to nice weed beds for bass. Only one small lmb on the beetlespin. Troll flies back towards the dam and get into a school of crappie. Multiple passes and fish on most drifts. Started kicking kicking back to our launch area and I get another small trout on th fly. Launch again in a shallow and weedy bay to try for more fish. Trolling in the channels in the weeds I get three more crappie on the fly and Dale gets one. Back to camp at 5pm for steak. Dale goes back to work monday and we take a long hike past the campground. Back to town tuesday.
