Sip, shop, stroll during Wine Walk
Shop, stroll and sip during the annual
Summer Wine Walk through Big Bear
Lake Village on Saturday, June 8.
Enjoy fine wines and even beers from
around the world. There’s music and hors
d’oeuvres to go along with the sipping and
shopping, plus lake and mountain views.
Dozens of businesses in the unique
shopping district participate in the Wine
Walk, held from 3:30-7 p.m. Contributing
restaurants include Sonora Cantina, Captains
Anchorage, Sugar Pine Bake Shop,
Stillwells, Azteca Grill and historic
Knickerbocker Mansion Bistro.
Guest check-in begins at 2:30 p.m. on
the corner of Pine Knot Ave. and Village
The influx of all the fresh water into
the lake, which has come up over 10 feet
since last fall, is going to make for an incredible
season on the water.
In fact over 17,000 acre feet of water
has brought the lake level up substantially,
at press time only around 9 feet down. With
each acre foot measuring 325,851 gallons,
that’s a lot of fresh water that came in, giving
the lake a nice refreshing spritz.
Certainly rainbow trout seem to like
it; early season fishing has been outstanding
with lots of holdovers taken. Find out
for yourself during the Ultimate Trout
Derby on May 18-19 out of Holloway’s
Marina, with cash prizes for the five largest
trout each day. Fishing begins at 6:30
a.m. daily with trout weighed by 2:30 p.m.
Saturday, 12:30 p.m. Sunday. Awards and
prize ceremony immediately follows.
One trout per person can be weighed
each day and there’s a great raffle too with
fishing trips, restaurant gift certificates,
lodging stays and much more. Tickets are
$1 each and can be purchased online or at
the tournament.
Adult entry is $30, youth 17 and under
$20 with $10 from every entry going
toward purchasing trout for the lake.
Preceding Friday on May 17, Big Bear
Fishing Association holds its Youth Fishing
Club booth from 3-7 p.m. Youngsters
and anyone else interested in learning to
fish get hands-on help from members on
equipment, casting and other topics.
It’s all part of Big Bear Fishing
Association’s mission to spread the joy of
the sport by raising money for trout plants,
promoting the outdoors and education for
Dr. Walkers receive a map of participating
businesses, commemorative wine glass, 12

28, $45 after if any are available—the

Big Bear Today
Fishing’s great, as the Huynh family found with Cantrell Guide Service in April
adults and youth alike. Join the Association
for just $30 and get a host of benefits
including monthly emails of results, local
fishing news and photos, and 30 raffle tickets.
There’s also sponsorships for businesses
as well.
Book lodging, boat rentals, Dynasty
restaurant dining and more directly online
at book.bigbearfishingassociation.org instead
of third-party sites and a portion of
the proceeds goes to stocking the lake.
With the rising lake level there’s debris
around the lake that needs to be addressed,
and the Adopt-A-Shoreline program
does just that. The season kickoff is
on May 18 at 9 a.m. at Municipal Water
District offices (40524 Lakeview Dr.) as
groups and individuals sign on to maintain
sections of shoreline. MWD provides
trash bags, grabbers and gloves and removes
bags of trash once they’re filled. All
participants get a free T-shirt and the satisfaction
that comes with keeping Big Bear
Lake beautiful. Call (909) 866-5796.
Museum...
Continued from page 6
There’s an array of equipment around
the museum that came directly from local
mines, including ore carts and the remnants
of the famous seven-mile long wooden
Chinese water flume that ran across the
mountains. Talk about an engineering marvel—it
ran at just the precise angle for
water to flow mile after mile down and
across a mountain ridge, built with an estimated
quarter-million square nails!
Kids can also step into the authentic
schoolhouse and see what it would have
been like if they’d been born 150 years ago.
The museum’s display is a re-creation of
Anna Crain’s one-room schoolhouse in
Doble, one of the mining towns that sprung
up in Big Bear during the gold rush, where
she taught during the early 1900’s.
From tasting a historical drink—cold
sarsaparilla is available for purchase—to
seeing a cowboy chuckwagon and Native
American teepee and kiic, Big Bear Museum
is a trip back in time. With print shop,
dentist office and barbershop, the museum
at Big Bear City Park is really more of a
western town.
The museum is at 800-B Greenway
Dr. in Big Bear City, open Wednesdays,
Saturdays, Sundays and holiday Mondays
from 10 a.m.-4 p.m. beginning May 18.
$5, 14 and under free. (909) 585-8100.
