Bear Creek below Big Bear Lake provides southern California anglers with fast action fishing for wild brown and rainbow trout in a picturesque setting. Access into the canyon through several trails will challenge most hiker/anglers on the climb out. Check Sport Fishing Regulations. Remote, steep canyon stream with many waterfalls. For information about accessing Bear Creek from Forest Road 1N09, please call the Mill Creek Ranger Station at (909) 382-2882.
