Yesterday was an almost unbelieveable day on Bear Lake. Flat calm and not a cloud in the sky. Fished from about 10:30 until 1:00. Did not fish hard since we were filming a segment on the whitefish run and did a lot of interviewing, talking about techniques, etc. We could have easily limited out and anyone fishing for whitefish yesterday did limit out. Some of our fish were pushing 20" long and 2.5lbs! The average size was about 17" and 1.5lbs! I can't believe more people are not taking advantage of this resource. Liberal limits (10 fish), easy fishing (shallow water so no boat required but definitely a plus), with inexpensive equipment (jigs), and no inversion! Both the east and west sides are producing fish around rocky shorelines. We did not average more than three casts without a fish!
