Weekend Horseback Riding Getaway: Superstition Mountains Edition

Fishing at Bear Lake: Unique Species and Stunning Scenery

Bear Lake is home to several fish species found nowhere else on Earth, including the Bonneville cisco, Bear Lake sculpin, and the prized Bear Lake cutthroat trout. The lake's crystal-clear turquoise waters and mountain setting make fishing here a truly unique experience that combines sport with spectacular natural beauty.

Ice fishing in winter and open-water fishing from boats and shore in summer provide year-round angling opportunities. The annual cisco run in January draws anglers from across the region who dip nets for the small, silvery fish in a decades-old tradition.

Fishing Opportunities

• Trolling for lake trout and cutthroat trout from boats
