Lake Almanor is the home of trophy Rainbow and German Brown trout. Other species include an ever increasing amount of landlocked salmon, small mouth bass and catfish.

Rent one of our pontoon or fishing boats with motor, or launch your own. Our store carries a wide variety of fishing equipment and bait.

Big Cove's two 12-foot deep water launching ramps provide easy access to and from Lake Almanor. You will find convenient parking for your boat trailer. Our docking facilities are the most modern on the lake and are available for the duration of your stay or for the season.

In addition, Big Cove now offers gas and oil on our dock and at our store.
