Well the lake froze over on Tuesday night. By Wednesday night it was about 25% open again due to wind. However, there is fishable ice in the southern half of the lake and along the east side in several areas. Its been almost two years since there was any significant ice on Bear Lake.
We fished in 21' of water along the weed beds south of Gus Rich Point on at least 4" of clear ice with about 6" of snow on top along with at least a foot of snow along the shoreline. Fishing was good and consistent. We caught limits of Cisco, about six Whitefish (some really nice ones), and several Cutthroat and Lakers. Tried a variety of lures from jigging Rapalas, to Castmasters, to Tube Jigs. They all worked today. The crazy part was that there were three boats fishing off the rockpile. They beach launched by Spinnaker Point Marina. No ice fishing there.....
Anyway, I wanted to get a report up so people know whats going on.
