Oh yea, I do plan to make several trips up there for the whites. I have my smoker ready and waiting for a couple limits of those Bear Lake bone fish. Even Mamma Coot plans to go up on one of those cold early morning trips with me.
Here is a post from last year's trip up there:

Fishing for whitefish on Bear Lake is kind of a unique event for me. It is hard to put my finger on it but it is a nice change from all the other fishing we do during the year. The location is a little different. The time of day is a little different. Battling the cold environment is actually enjoyable. The tackle I use is a bit uinque for me. The very different retrieval technique is fun. Bringing home a limit of fish is easy for a change. Bringing home fish (as opposed to C & R) in itself is an interesting change. Being able to go out a little ways from the spawning beds and finish off the day with some mack and cut fishing is great too. All in all, I really look forward to fishing the whitefish run.
