Bear Lake Fishing
Anglers enjoy year-round fishing for cutthroat, mackinaw, cisco, and whitefish. Lake trout (mackinaw) also inhabit the lake and may grow to 30 lbs. Bear Lake is home to a trophy cutthroat trout fishery where the Idaho State record cutthroat of 19 lbs. was caught. Ice-fishing during the winter is a popular activity.

There are four species of fish that cannot be found anywhere else including the Bonneville Cisco. They move in close to shore to spawn in mid January and can be dip-netted through the ice.
