Good looking fish, but that’s a lake trout, not a cutthroat. Thanks for the report!
I was going to say a 28" cutthroat would be a new state record… Great fish again Kent (Kory)… Thanks for the report… Jeff
PS… We went to Idaho at Chesterfield and had a rough day… Only two fish between 3 of us in 6 hours on the ice… Not very many fish even showed up on the graphs… I think we caught a third of what we seen on TV… moved 4-5 times too before we found the few we caught…

Went with my wife’s family from Idaho so we met in the middle, other wise I would have been to BL as well… after such a slow day i was missing bear lake even more… Later J
I also fished Bear Lake on Saturday 2/12. We fished in 39-41’ right on the top of the rockpile. We did pretty good. Between 4 of us we caught at least 40 whitefish, 3 cutts (one was about 5lb), and 4 cisco. We also lost a pig of a cutthroat right at the hole that had to be 7-8 lbs! Fun day! 9-10 inches of ice.
Scott did you have your operation today? Hope it went or goes well for you. J

I didn’t measure it, wanted to get her back in the water asap. I’d guess at least 32-34”. The ice is still clear & looks solid. Lots of cracking. Safe ice but it is Bear lake.
I was surprised to see guys still jigging and getting Cisco on the Rockpile yesterday. Any idea how long that typically lasts?
My buddy caught one a little smaller today & it measured 37” so I’d say this hog was easily 37” & my guess was 15-20 lbs. Not over 20 at all but not under 15. I’ve caught some 20+ lb lakers at the gorge & this fish was definitely getting big. The guy next to me guesses 25 lbs but it wasn’t that big.
Can anyone tell me where to access the rock pile ?
If i remember correctly the road there is Guss rick ln.
Thanks
Take that 250 E loop road it’s off the north end of the loop and you park out on the sandy beach, but it’s sort of a bog to get to the parking spot… Long walk to the rock pile from there… Probably close to a mile… Took us 40 minutes to walk out and back… didn’t stop much either, only around the ridge to find a safe spot to cross it… Be careful there Shawn about went swimming when the ice sheet broke loose under him and started to sink… Good idea to take a spud bar for crossing the ridges… the rest of the ice was good, except for methane vents that are always trouble… Follow tracks with caution around the visible hazards… Good luck… J
Thanks buddy.
