Bear Lake is a great fishery for cutthroat trout, lake trout, Bonneville cisco and Bear Lake whitefish. Some of the lake trout are more than 35 years old! Please consider releasing large lake trout in order to maintain the fishery. And remember: if you want to keep a cutthroat trout from Bear Lake, it must have a healed fin clip (usually the adipose fin). If you catch a cutthroat with all of its fins intact -- even if it's tagged -- you must release it.
