Its been a while since I've posted on here. Seems like I've had to switch user names a few time over the past couple of years. here is my latest report.
Fished Bear lake over the weekend. Its been really cold over there as for the weather. Fishing was slow with 1 nice cut and a few smaller ones. We trolled out of the marina and over the rock pile. Marked lots of fish but not a lot of takers. I'm guessing the Lakers are busy spawning right now. The whitefish fishing should be coming on good here in a couple of weeks. Best time to fish Bear lake is coming up. Stay tuned.

I would suspect it's time to start watching for white fish now... Usually the last of November, early December will show some fish, but with low water and all, they may be on a whole new area when they start to spawn... Hope the weather and fish line up with when I can join the party... I'm thinking a week from this weekend for when I'll make a trip over to check, unless I've heard something sooner... Good luck... J

We got a few on the Rockpile on Friday. Only spent an hour on them, but got 5 or so. The fishing on Bear Lake has been the toughest I can remember this year. If I had to guess, the ice access last year put a dent in the population of lake trout. Has been brutal for us. I’m throwing up the white flag and putting the boat away.

Wonder what I did to lose my reply, must not have been that good.... Did want to agree with you about the ice probably causing more fish to be taken last year... It let's a lot of the meat fishermen get to the fish and it was a long season on ice, so I'm sure a lot more fish were kept than a normal year... Hopefully that will make more food and better quality fish this coming year... I did see a couple snakey fish come through the ice last winter... They were the first skinny fish I've seen in a long time out of the lake... Kind of like the eighties fish used to be...
I was just hoping to take my boat over to the lake, so I hope there are a few left to catch... sorry to hear it's been a tough year for you... Later J
