Fished Bear Lake this morning. It was a balmy -6 degrees at 0800. Fished with a reporter from the Ogden Standard Examiner. His story will appear on 12/14/05 in the Ogden paper. Fishing was a little slower, but I would still say it is excellent. The water in front of the Utah State Park marina was off-color due to the blizzard that hit the area yesterday. This made fishing a little tougher since the whitefish could not see your jig as well. But all in all we did good. See picture. Average size was 17" with a couple fish almost 19". This is picture is only part of the catch. Even with deicers running they are starting to have a hard time keeping up. There were sheets of ice about 1/2" thick floating all over in the marina. We didn't have to break too much ice to get out on the lake, but a few more days like today and it might be a challenge.
