Started out the holiday by fishing Pineview on Thursday. Got on the water at 10:00am and started trolling for tigers. We caught a 44" right at the dock at the Cemetary launch ramp, and a 43" on the west shore. Left at 1:00pm and headed up to Bear lake for the weekend.
Fishing at bear lake was slow for Lake trout, or should I say nonexistant. Cutthroat fishing was slow but consistant. We were catching cutthroat downrigging in 35' of water on the east shore using Vampire Rapalas. We were averaging about one an hour when we were fishing for them. The largest we caught was 6 lbs, the rest were 18" to 22".
