Angler creel surveys show good fishing for cutthroat trout and a few lake trout. For trout, anglers are mainly trolling with minnow-type lures in water depths of 15 to 30 using flatlines with deep-diving lures or downriggers with lures that run more shallow. The best spots to fish have been along the east side at Rainbow Cove/North Eden and along the west side from Swan Creek to the north to Fish Haven Creek. A few anglers have been jigging using tube jigs tipped with cisco or worms on the bottom in about 60 feet of water off Second Point and Cisco Beach. Remember: you must release all cutthroat trout that do not have a healed fin clip.

State Road 39 over Monte Cristo is open, so you can reach Bear Lake and other Rich County waters through Monte Cristo. The surface water temperature is about 51 degrees. You can launch a boat at the marina and at both east side boat ramps: First Point and Rainbow Cove. Courtesy docks are in the water at all locations.
