: Bear Lake The surface water temperature is 38°F. Shoreline anglers are catching cutthroat trout in the morning by casting spoons off the Utah state park marina and off Cisco Beach. Fish average between three and seven pounds. Gill nets have caught cutthroat trout at depths ranging from 15 to 175 feet, but the shallow areas along the shoreline have produced more and larger fish. Anglers are also doing well for cutthroat trout by trolling minnow-type lures in 10 to 40 feet of water. They are near the state park marina rockpiles, heading north toward the Utah-Idaho state line. Anglers are also trolling the east side, traveling from First Point north to the South Eden delta, finding success in the same depth of water with the same type of lures. Consider releasing some of the big pre-spawn cutthroat trout so they can spawn in the tributaries this spring. Remember, in order to keep a cutthroat trout from Bear Lake, it must have a healed fin clip (usually the adipose fin). Cutthroat trout with all fins intact must be released. Lake trout fishing is fair in 90100 feet of water off Gus Rich point. Anglers are using large flatfish and Rapalas off downriggers. Garden City Community Fishery Pond: The water has been drained to allow repairs at the pond. Once repaired, the pond will be filled and stocked with sterile rainbow trout. Laketown Reservoir: The ice has melted, and the reservoir is full. Rainbow trout fishing has been good, using small spinners and woolly bugger flys. Also try PowerBait, worms and marshmallows.
