Anyone been to Bear Lake?

[Kent]

To quote BLM, "You've got to have big fish mentality". I have been skunked several times at Bear Lake and I keep going back. Getting three fish over six pounds in one day, and losing a fourth at the boat keeps me excited enough to keep going back, even after getting skunked a few times. Seeing BLM reel in many fish over nine pounds, and two over 10 pounds, also gives me incentive to keep going back. I still need to work on the "big fish mentality" more though, because I also get excited about catching quantity of fish on other bodies of water. One thing that I try to do is match my gear to the fish. If I am likely to catch fish under five pounds, I like to break out the ultalight fishing tackle. Reeling in that 25" cutthroat at Strawberry, on my ultralight, was as fun as reeling in a larger fish on heavier gear.
