I've seen schools on my fish finder at about any time of the year, although Whitefish and Cisco do form much larger schools during their respective spawning seasons. I personally can't tell for sure whether they are Cisco or Whitefish without catching one. Perhaps a person with a good fish finder and a familiarity with it could tell based on the size of the separate echoes or something, but I can't. I usually figure that if a decent sized tube jig tipped with some Cisco meat isn't getting nibbles when it's in the middle of a school, it's probably a school of Cisco, otherwise, it's probably a school of Whitefish.
Sculpin are bottom dwellers and do not school. The only time you can find good concentrations of them is when they come up into the rocky shallows to spawn.
Sounds like that Cutt was being a pig. The Bear Lake Whitefish spawn from February to May. I imagine the Mack's and Cutt's will gorge on them just as long as they are plentiful and concentrated.
