Bear Lake Fishing Report:
What a difference 24 hrs can make! The wind we experienced in the valley on Monday has now completely taken the ice off at Cisco Beach and made a lot of other areas on the lake unstable. As of this morning, the only ice we saw anglers fishing on was south of the Pump House area on the east side. The rest of the ice looked very thin and many parts were shelved up. Ice conditions can continue to change if any wind develops. The Bonneville cisco run has peaked and it is winding down quickly. There were only a few small schools of cisco sighted at Cisco Beach and it was open water. Just to the south of Cisco Beach there was still a lot of ice and anglers were dip netting cisco through the ice. At the marina, cisco were present in good numbers, but the fish were quite spooky and it was more difficult to dip net limits of fish.
