Cedar Lake Fishing in San Bernardino County, California

• Overview

  In California, Cedar Lake belongs to San Bernardino County. The ground around here is open plain. It covers about 4 acres, so this is small water you can walk round in under an hour. It is a small entry by San Bernardino County standards. The nearest town is Big Bear Lake, 1.9 miles away. It is 22 miles to San Bernardino, the nearest city. This one is safely inside the county line.

• Where to Fish on Cedar Lake

  Our records hold no depth for this water. Inflow corners move water, and moving water gathers fish. Held water runs deepest at the wall and shallows back to the inflow. Species logged nearby in open biodiversity records include green sunfish, rainbow trout and common carp. The records cover the area rather than this water alone. Cedar Lake fishes better once you know its edges.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Climate normals give 66°F for July and 37°F for January. Winter here means light layers, not lost months. Spring and autumn carry the fishing; summer squeezes it into the edges of the day. March through May is the strongest run, with October and November a second stretch. The season on Cedar Lake follows the weather closely.

• Tackle & Baits

  The access position is unclear from public sources. A car park sits roughly half a mile away. A pier 50 yards from here gives a platform over deeper water. Overnight stays are possible half a mile away. There is a toilet block some half a mile out. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Ask in the nearest town if you are unsure. Check whether bait restrictions apply before you buy any. Metcalf Bay at 1 mile is the sensible second choice. Nothing here settles the position at Cedar Lake for certain.
