Hey Mike I was thinking the same thing on size of cisco I've seen this year, they were way bigger than usual, glad you mentioned that, because I was thinking the same thing.... I trust your judgement on your thoughts otherwise and have noticed the same trend the last 4-5 years of later spawns and unexpected lack of fish, especially on the beaches... I remember years ago seeing someone catch a big perch out of Bear Lake and that was the first I ever knew of perch being in Bear Lake, but they told me then that I guess they had been there for years, but their numbers had never gotten very thick up to that point... With all the new plant growth submerged in the last couple years, I'll bet they have had great spawning areas, so maybe we'll be looking at Bear Lake as a perch lake someday... If we do, I hope it doesn't hurt the trout... Later J
When things get stressful think I'll go fish'en and worry about it tomorrow!
