Grab your fishing poles.....we've got 2 fishing tournaments this May in Big Bear Lake.

The 27th annual Jim Hall Memorial May Trout Classic is May 16 and 17th. The Fishing Association of Big Bear Lake sponsors this tournament and gives out nine cash prizes (1st place=$2025). Applications are available at Big Bear Sporting Goods, Big Bear Marina, and the Big Bear Municipal Water District. All proceeds from the Trout Classic are used to provide fish plants, artificial habitat structures, conservation projects, and monthly tournaments for designated species. Entry fee is $50 but free for children ages 5-15 when fishing with a paid entrant. For more information or to register call Jacque Hall at 909-585-4007.

"The Catch": Entries are limited to the first 425 anglers. The Big Bear Grizzly Newspaper reported that as of April 18th, The Fishing Association had received 392 entries...so hurry before it's too late!

Fishin' for $50k is back this year after a 3 year hiatus on May 30 and 31st. The Big Bear Lake Resort Association, the Municipal Water District, Big Bear Marina, Holloways Marina, Pleasure Point Marina, Pine Knot Landing, Capt. John's Marina, Berkley, PowerBait, Rapal, Luhr-Jensen and Flambeau all sponsor this event. There's a total of 10 tagged trout with various prizes. Whoever reels in the grand prize tagged trout receives $50,000! **Entry Fee is $35 for adults over the age of 16, and $20 for entrants under 16 years old. Entries are limited to the first 750 anglers. **If you book your stay between May 29th and May 31st through the Big Bear Lake Resort Association, you are eligible for free admission into the tournment. Call 800-424-4232 for more information or click here to make your reservation.

"The Catch": There's only 1 trout that is eligible for the $50k grand prize. The other 9 officially tagged trout will have numbers assigned to specific prizes. I don't see where there is any prize for the heaviest stringer or the largest trout. So make sure you know the rules before casting your line on the shore, or before you jump in your boat, kayak, canoe or float tube.

Construction on the Big Bear replacement bridge along Highway 18 will begin this Spring, but there is a groundbreaking ceremony this Thursday (March 11) at the PAC (Big Bear Lake Performing Arts Center). Officials from Caltrans, the City of Big Bear Lake, San Bernardino County, the Big Bear Chamber of Commerce, and the Fawnskin Chamber of Commerce are all expected to attend. The event is open to the public and starts at 11am. FCI Constructors, Inc. will be in charge of the $39 million project which will replace the existing bridge with a new structure on the south side of the dam. It will have 3 lanes (12 feet wide) as opposed to two. One westbound lane will have a right turn option, 10' shoulders, and a 5 foot ADA (American Disabilities Act) compliant sidewalk on one side of the bridge. Caltrans states that most of the construction will take place during the week, with no detours or closures planned. They emphasized that the project is needed to separate the highway from the dam, in order to allow owners of the dam to make seismic and operational improvements and ensure year-round access to the Big Bear region. Estimated completion date is suppose to be in the Fall of 2011. For more information regarding the project, or to avoid any traffic delays you can sign up for project alerts at www.caltrans8.info and go to CT Connect.
