Since 1991, Cantrell Guide Services has been operating on Big Bear Lake. Owner/Guide, John Cantrell and Master Guide, Cliff Fowler have a combined fishing experience on Big Bear Lake of 80 years. They know Big Bear Lake and they know how Rainbow Trout think. Fish with a professional, licensed guide, on a comfortable 24 foot pontoon, which has an 18 foot roof and an enclosure that will keep you out of the wind. You will be comfortable and enjoy the lake.

The boat can accommodate up to 6 persons, with 4 fishing at any one time.

During the last season, over 2,000 pink-meat rainbows were taken by satisfied clients. 

Sleep in, we don’t start until 8:00 am. No more waking up at the crack of dawn to go fishing, come and find out why! Learn about the solar observatory, how the dam was built and most of all, how to take trout from this lake. All trolling gear furnished. 

We can pick you up at any private dock on Big Bear Lake.
