Taking the kayak over first week in December.I got a call from Scott (DWR biologist at Bear Lake) yesterday. I have an invite to join him for a whitie reconnoiter trip on Wednesday the 2nd of December. I will report back on water levels, best areas this year, observed fish activity, etc. Plus, we are trying to get Scott (BearLakeFishGuy) back on the boards after the website changeover swept him away. And I am sure he will provide regular updates as the season progresses.
You should do fine with your yak. Fellow former yakker R2U2 had his "banana yak" out there on one trip while I was tubing...on the east side. Even after drifting away from the dock...and leaving his paddle behind...he had a good day. A courteous boater took his paddle out to him before he blew away to Idaho. He didn't have that marvy "Mirage" foot pedal drive you have on yours. Just don't get overconfident and be sure to keep an eye on the weather. Bear Lake can huff up some straight-sided waves in a hurry and you don't wanna be anywhere it ain't easy to hit the beach.
