Big Bear
We have been staying at Big Bear also for 5-6 years now. Nice place, nice people, and a great guide from their place also. His name is Rodney Hairgrove. As for the fall season. We have been down the later part of Oct and the first week of Nov. I think the week of Nov was better fishing, BUT most of the marinas and bait shops all closed the end of Oct. Therefore we usually go down the last week of Oct anymore.
Crappie spawning and morels popping up at the same time. What was God thinking when he made that schedule. It's pure torture every spring deciding which to do.
