[quote sagedave]On Hegben Lake in MT, chrinomids under an indicator killed the white fish. Not sure how it would do at Bear Lake.[/quote]
[#0000FF]Totally different species...and totally different diets. The mountain whitefish is found throughout the west, mostly in moving water but also in some lakes. It is primarily insectivorous throughout its life cycle. The Bonneville whitefish lives largely on invertebrates until it reaches about 12 to 13 inches. After that time it is mostly piscivorous. But it will still smack a variety of food items. It is reasonable to assume it would accept buggy imitations but not sure about something as small as 'mids.[/#0000FF]
