Bear Lake fishing report for 12/10/2024

[dubob]

I saw a guy get a ticket for using SCUBA equipment trying to spearfish.  At that time I was told by the CO that they can underwater spearfish but not use SCUBA equipment to do so (i.e. only using a mask/snorkel).  Maybe those regs have changed since that was 30+ years ago?

My search through the 2024 Michigan Regulations shows that UNDERWATER spearing of any fish with ANY type of underwater breathing apparatus (SCUBA diving) is still illegal.  And just like the regs in Utah, the Michigan regs require some legal expertise in determining what is or is not permitted while in pursuit of piscis.
