Cisco Disco Advice Needed
#9
(12-01-2020, 04:20 PM)Jonthecook Wrote: For the past 4 years, I have always told myself I was going to make it up to bear lake for their Cisco event. This year I finally scheduled the time off and will be there! Having never fished for these little guys before, what tactics/equipment should I look at getting? I have waders, but imagine I will need a big net? How does one entice the fish into the net?

As always, any advice is greatly appreciated!
Yes, the Cisco Disco will still be held.  It will be Jan 23, 2021 at Cisco Beach.  However, the event has morphed (in a good way) into the Bear Lake Monster Winterfest.  It begins on Friday evening (please come up and join the festivities (mostly free) and then stay overnight.  Friday is the big kick-off social and also the "Taste Of Bear Lake".  Last year this was a knock-out hit and for $10, you can try several different specialites from local restaurants.  The Cisco Disco is first thing Saturday morning at Cisco Beach followed by the polar plunge, chili cook off, lots of raffle prizes, costume contest, etc.  Here is a link for all the activities and times:

Please make a donation to the Family Place when you come over to the State Park marina for the polar plunge (even if you aren't jumping in!).  If you are jumping, I would pre-register online at the link above.  You get an awesome hoodie sweat shirt for doing so!  Also, if you have kids, enter the "biggest cisco contest".  It will be epic and a great time. 

As far as nets go.  Sportsmans Warehouse, AL's, the local ACE Hardware in Garden City or perhaps others should have them.  It has to be a HAND HELD dipnet with a diameter of 18" or less.  No cast nets, etc.  Longer handles = better.  Some people add on to the standard 6-7' handle and others buy nets with telescoping handles up t 12' long.  I'll post more suggestions as we get closer to the date.  Hope to see you all there!
