Bear River

[PDS]

We hit the Bear River on Friday night. The fishing was really good for small fish. There must have been a good spawn last year because the river is full of 8-12 inch channels. You couldn't keep a worm in the water for more than a minute before one would take off with it. We usually fish worms before dark to get a few carp for bait, but we only caught one carp between the three of us. We each put on bigger baits to try and keep the small ones off, but still ended up catching quite a few more of the small ones. My brother got big fish of the night with a big 25" male. I couldn't manage anything over 15" and my dad got a fat 18 incher. We also caught a few bullheads, but they were pretty small.
