I've never heard of a Bear lake lodge, much less anyone fishing out of it but from my experience, once the main state park marina freezes and closes that location on the West side of the lake, there are two or three boat launches on the East side of the lake that are usually open. I highly doubt the entire lake has frozen but if the wind has been blowing the ramps can be icy, so it is always a good idea to have a 4x4 and chains would be a good idea, just in case. Side planners would be of little value this time of the year. Jigging or using downrigger, would be your best bet. If Bearlakefishguy sees your post maybe he can give you some up to date info or you could send him a PM.
