Bear Lake Report 10/27/2004 and for this coming weekend! - BearLakeFishGuy - 10-27-2004 [size 3][/size][size 3]This report should pretty much sum up the expected outlook for this coming weekend. [/size] [size 3] [/size] [size 3]The surface water temperature is 49 F. Several angler have been interviewed this past week and the lake trout fishing has been fast and furious. Some much larger fish being taken and one anlger landed three fish over 10lbs each. The trollers along the east side have been doing the best by far. In addition some decent lakers have been caught by fishermen fishing from shore off the Utah State Park marina and Cisco Beach. Time of day does not seem to matter.[/size] [size 3] [/size] [size 3]The trollers are using flatlines, lead core line or downriggers in about 15 feet of water and they are trolling parallel to shore. Flatfish lures are producing the best results. The shore anglers are casting with #4 or #5 spinners, spoons and other lures (including large flys). [/size] [size 3] [/size] [size 3]There have been a few reports from anglers jigging from boats near the rockpile area. This area has been slower than the east side and is quite a bit slower than last year at the same time, however, the fishing usually picks up a little bit later in the season in this area. Try fishing right on top of the rockpile in about 30 feet of water and if the fish aren't biting, then keep moving deeper until you find some active fish. Use ½ to ¾ ounce tube jigs tipped with cisco or sucker meat fished right on the bottom. Anglers are also catching a few cutthroat using the same methods as they have for lake trout. The cutthroat trout fishing should continue to improve as the lake cools down.[/size] [size 3] [/size] [size 3]Lake trout do not reproduce in large numbers in Bear Lake and the population is mainly controlled by stocking, therefore this is a fairly limited resource. Although you can catch quite a few lakers at this time of the year, please consider releasing fish if you don't plan on eating them within a day or two. Remember the trout limit is two. This means two lake trout, two cutthroat trout OR one of each.[/size] [size 3] [/size]The only boat ramp that is still useable due to low water levels is the Bear Lake State Park marina. The depth of the marina is approximately 3-5' at this time. Anglers can also launch small boats from the sandy beach around many parts of the Bear Lake shoreline but should do so at their own risk, since there are many areas with deep, soft sand on the lakeshore. The concrete boat ramp at Cisco Beach is out of the water but small trailers can still be backed in over the rocky area below the boat ramp. There is a dock provided at this ramp to aid in launching/retrieving your boat. Anglers can use the new fish cleaning station at the Bear Lake State Park marina but the water has been shut off due to freezing conditions.

Don't forget me next time you need help pulling gillnets. I find what you do for a living very interesting. I plan to be up there Thursday night thru Sunday afternoon. The weather reports look lousy for launching smaller boats so I will be on the shore most likely.

Oh well, I will have to catch them on the flip side in a week or two.

Sounds like a lot of fun to be had on shore and from a boat.

Looks like a mix of rain and snow in the early hours, then rain all day long until its time to go home, so bring your rain gear, and an extra set of rain gear cause its gonna be cold and wet. Having a wind factor of 12 MPH is not the worst, but its not the best for the guys who want to go vertical.

You can drive right down to the water. Anywhere on cisco would be easy to launch a floatilla actually, it is pretty flat and just a small rocky area to pass over on foot.

Missed too many fishing trips because it looked like rain. [signature] Re: [IdahoNative] Bear Lake Report 10/27/2004 and for this coming weekend! - fish1on - 10-29-2004 I agree!! But I have to convince my family of that!! LOL I am from Alaska and Maine originally, so this weather is nothing to me. [signature] |
