Anglers Den’s latest Bear Lake report (Nov. 2) rates fishing Good. Lake trout are moving up onto the rockpile and points to spawn, and cutthroat are coming shallow as the water cools.

North and South Eden closed for the season Nov. 1, and Rendezvous Beach is winterized. The Marina, First Point, Cisco Beach, and Rainbow Cove ramps stay open — bring 4WD for Cisco. Shore anglers can cast a Kastmaster or big spinner off the Marina and Cisco Beach; boats can troll a FlatFish near the bottom in 20–80 feet. After the lake trout finish spawning, jigging a Sonic Baitfish picks up.

Utah’s trout limit at Bear Lake is two fish. A valid Utah or Idaho license is honored on both sides of the lake, with each state’s rules applying on its side.
