You can launch boats at the Utah State Park marina, and off the east side at the 1st Point and Rainbow Cove boat ramps. The courtesy docks are installed at all locations. 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. Consider releasing large lake trout in order to maintain the fishery. Lake trout are very slow growing and can easily live more than 35 years in Bear Lake.


Fall is a great time to fish Bear Lake! There are fewer boats on the water after Labor Day, making the lake a quiet haven for anglers to explore. The tackle shop in Garden City has the GPS locations of the habitat rockpiles posted on their website. They also have a flyer with helpful tips on fishing the lake that was a team effort with Bear Lake Biologist Scott Tolentino. The Community Fishing Pond in Garden City was recently stocked and offers a fun place for families to fish.
