Hey there TubeDude,
Big Bear is good right after ice out and my favorite spot is around fawnskin between the cinderblock wall and the observatory (large shallow bay with dropoff). Besides trout, northern bass like to come right up to the gravel shore. Good fall fishing too with a chance for a hybrid kokanee rainbow. I caught one! Size? If you spread out a newspaper, it was exactly as long as the two pages are wide. You can tube there with a permit and there is a tuber guide too.
Lake Casitas has some good fishing but I understand float tubes are not allowed there so I don't go.
I haven't fished Castiac (lagoon) in a long time so don't know about there but you can tube it.
I don't fish Orange or San Diego county much but I should. I want to go to Laguna Niguel Lake sometime as it is a big tuber lake.
