Here is a report from the DWR site. Some guys are either great fishermen, lucky or both. I have put in many a trip to Bear Lake and I'm still trying to catch my first fish over 10 pounds, and the guy wants tips!
"Bear Lake
Date: August 5 & 7

Hi Tom, I fished Bear Lake for the first time this week. I used a jointed Rapala, large size, rainbow pattern. I trolled from Cisco beach area to North Eden. On the 5th had four hits and caught an awsome 28" 18lb laker. Only had time to fish 3 hours. On the 7th caught two nice cuts, one 20" and the other 23". I saw lots of fish right on the bottom between 70 and 114 feet. I fished at 85 ft 3-4 mph with downrigger. If anyone has tips to help. HELP! — Thanks Clair"
