Bear Lake on Apr 5

[dubob]

[font "Comic Sans MS"][#800000]Kentofnsl was kind enough to ask me along on an adventure to Big Blue in the north. However, the Big Blue was more like Big Green due to the runoff silt and debris clouding it up. We launched off the east side and worked our way south stopping to anchor and jig at 3 locations were the water depth was in the 65 to 75 FOW range.[/#800000][/font]

[font "Comic Sans MS"][#800000]I was first up with a nice cutthroat in the 17/18" range that had a tag protruding from its dorsal fin - Tag #14940. I'm still waiting to hear back from Scott T. after reporting the catch to him and asking for some history on the fish. I didn't think to measure the length before releasing it. Sorry about that. That was my one and only for the day, but a nice catch to be sure.[/#800000][/font]

[font "Comic Sans MS"][#800000]Kent was next up and brought to net a nice 20" that was also released and then later Kent brought in a 10/11" baby that was also released.[/#800000][/font]

[font "Comic Sans MS"][#800000]The weather was nice , if not a bit on the chilly side. Low 20s at launch time and warmed up to just over 40 when we quit for the day at about 3 PM. The winds were light and variable most of the day which made us keep our coats on all day. And the bibs and winter boats were nice to have on as well.[/#800000][/font]
