Well I fished the Bear with a friend for whitefish this morning. We launched at 8:30am. It was already starting to blow, but wind was out of the west and we fished close to shore. The water near the marina is very turbid due to the NW wind that blew yesterday. Anyway, we used 1/8oz. tubes and fished 9' of water. Caught 13 whitefish and 3 cutts. Two cuts were not clipped and were between 4-5 lbs. Really nice fish, that are still swimming in the lake. The other was just over 4 lbs and he will be joining us for dinner tonight as the featured guest! The whitefish are on their way south to Kaysville to be smoked. The wind blew all day. First out of the west, then the north, the back out of the west. It had to be at least a 25mph wind when we got off the lake around noon and there were foot hight whitecaps INSIDE the marina!!! We saw "Crestliner" at the ramp when we pulled out. He said they caught one cutthroat, but the wind got the best of them. All in all it wasn't red hot, but the water was so turbid I'm surprised we did as well as we did. Sorry, but the camera was left in the truck and I didn't get any pictures.
