Bear Lake Reunion Fishing Trip

While at Bear Lake on a reunion week campout, we managed to get the boat in the water a couple of times. Friday we had a banner day!

Jon started things off with this 13 pound, 8 ounce beauty caught on a one-ounce white Rooster-Tail. This is his biggest mack out of Bear Lake.

So I gave Andrew a big white Rooster-Tail, and within about 45 minutes, landed his own laker, weighing in at 13 pounds, 10 ounces. Book-end mackinaw! A perfect match!

In addition, they each caught nice cutthroat trout; Andrew's weighed just over 3 pounds, while Jon's weighed in at 6 1/2. We smoked fish as part of our dinner night festivities.
We want to go back in the fall, when the macks are in shallower water. We caught these in about 115 feet of water, about 50 feet down. Thank goodness for downriggers!
