I have been approached about putting a Bear Lake BRATS gathering for the weekend of Mar 29 or Mar 30. Weather permitting of coarse. Some have indicated to make a weekend of fishing staying at the KOA or other arrangements. There will be a potluck on one of those days at the state park in Garden City. Chime in here if you have interest. signfishin

Roger, I'm certainly interested, but clearly pending as that's a bit earlier than I usually make it owing to the typically iffy weather and my procrastination getting the boat out of it's winter mothballs. Golly, my ice fishing stuff is still setting in the garage waiting for it to get cold again!

Sorry Chuck, the weather is always an issue with the Bear. This is tentative if weather holds. Some inquirers revealed that they would travel to do this. I'm hoping to get up there real soon when the marina becomes ice free. Fishing should be kicking in again soon after the cutts have fatten up on cisco. I have done well in Mar & Apr.

Nothing to be sorry about, I'll just have to get off my fat behind and get the boat ready. Now that's an idea 101idea101.

Can you launch at the state park or is the ice still locked in?

I will Get my Boat ready in a couple of weeks and the RV as well. A few days of Spring Fishing and a Brawt Out sound like fun.

I will be in on the 27th and fishing Fri AM the 28th. Red Lund with soft Top. thumbsup Will stay through Monday - Tuesday and then head out back to Idaho! If lite traffic at the Marina, I may stay there in the parking lot over on the South end in the gravel or possible back further with my boat trailer on the back of the MH. VHF Ch 19 Do you have one??? or hand helds??

Looks like gonefishing is it for the scouting crew?


What time ya'll thinking of getting on the water? My rather limited experience is similar the Roger's in that I tyioically do the best a little later in the morning, especially if there are the canyon winds that then settle. There have been pretty good early morning winds from the canyons into Cache Valley s the last few days.

Likely I will be clearing the dock by 7:15 - 7:30. That will give me a hour or so to look around a little. I know where I am going to check for fish. I want to check the main spots and hopefully there will be fish. If not, I'll do some more looking . Ya know the drill I am sure!rolleyes There is alot of water to look for fish in.

Dan came by the house yesterday. He's chomping at the bit to get out to a watering hole somewhere and the next couple of weeks will take its toll on him since he is still of the "working class". He says he wants to go 4 more years before retirement. Oh such punishment!!!! 101surrender101

Looks like Dan will be on the water having fun when we are all back in at the barns. Not only that, he will be powered by all the fishing reports from the team. Maybe not a bad strategy.101idea101 I dont think he will be any less excited about putting some lines down.tooexcited without the rest of us on the water!! worthy12

I'll use all of the info I can get to fish that place. I'll post reports during the week. Hey on another note , my son was talking with Adam Eakle from KSL at the ISE show today. he told me that Adam was interested in maybe doing a story about Bear Lake Brats on the 29th. I'm going to find out more information about this ASAP , he said he was going to talk to the guys at Campchef about cooking the Brats up for us. Who knows this could get interesting.tooexcited

I hope the fish are doing all the flopping and not us. laugh hyst This should be fun if this happens. I'm looking fwd to a good day on the water & seeing friends. So does this mean we are taking up the rules of a postal carriers, in rain, snow sleet, hail, etc.? fencing I'm all for it. thumbsup

I will not have a computer with me, so I will radio on to Roger progress and he can post when he gets home. So far it is the 2 of us who will be out Friday. I do not know of anyone else who will be out. I have herd that the fish are moving and spread out, so the traditional locations will not be sacred this weekend. 101chromefish101 Seek and you shall find them.101notworthy2101 A fish finder that works at high speed will be valuable.101idea101

Dan should be on the lake as well on Friday. Kokaholic & Agitator also coming up later in the morning on Friday. With names like that this could spell mischievous doings. 101shock1101 I'll have Petty in my boat on Saturday. We'll use VHF ch69 to chat.

I have made up an official Bear L thread so all postings and pics can funnel there.

Just got word from gonefishing. He's on the road and gonefishing. thumbsup He will be at Bear thru next Tuesday. We are have a spring storm hampering some travel today especially over the higher passes but should clear later today. I'm hitting the road tomorrow am for a 2day fun fest. Saturday will be clear of weather but another system moving in on Sunday.

I caught these Cutts at Pyramid Lake a couple of weeks ago and thought I'd give you guys something to shoot for. Hope you guys have a great time!
