[size 2][font "Comic Sans MS"] I watched Outdoors With Doug Miller last night and quite enjoyed his informative show on the rock project at Bear Lake.
The four new rock piles are named after the four species of fish endemic to Bear Lake. In alphabetical order from south to north, the four rock piles are Cisco, Cutthroat, Sculpin and Whitefish.
Our own BLFG and his "tug boat" operation got some good air time too.
Here is a link to the arcticle:

Here is a link to the GPS coordinates for each of the rock piles:

These new rock piles sound to be pretty good for fishing. They are already starting to draw fish to them. And, for fishermen in small boats like mine, they are relatively close to the marina for quick escape from big waves. I kind of suspect that the drawback will be that these piles could become extremely popular and at times even be a combat fishing zone for boaters. I suspect that I, for one, will contribute to that. But then again, on the other hand, they may be spread out far enough that tight quarters won't be a problem. It will be exciting to fish and explore these new rock structures.
Thanks to all who had a part in making it happen. I think it is fantastic.[/font][/size]
