Ok guys/Got Bait...
1st of all, strictly catch and release. I am a firm believer of keeping a limit of stocked fish for the dinner table but NEVER at Bear Lake... Bear Lake Macs are kind of religious for us. Enjoy the love a great fishing partner and a great fish...
I never plan a fishing trip during a full moon. I specifically stay away from Bear Lake on full moon days and schedule my time for other weekends.
So... full moon in October is around the 20th. Expecting that they will be spawning around that time, I'm pretty sure I want to fish pre-spawn putting me on the lake the weekends as follows:
Weekend of 14 Sept - 1st quarter moon fishing
Weekend of 21 Sept - Full moon - (no fishing)
Weekend of 28 Sept - 3rd quarter moon fishing
Weekend of 5 Oct - New moon fishing
Weekend of 12 Oct - 1st quarter moon fishing
Weekend of 20 Oct - "The Spawn" full moon - (no fishing)
Thoughts on the best weekends for success?
