I will be setting up at the Marina Wed Afternoon. Looking forward to several days of great Spring fishing at Bear Lake. I will bring condiments, plates, and silverware, the same as our last outing.
I am looking forward to some soft water, warmer temps, and putting a line in the water. tongue2

Hope to finally meet up with you liketrolling. This is an open invite for those interested in a day gathering of fishing and potluck at the end of the day. Don't forget the sling of BS. 101ok101

The Condos where AFDan is staying also rents out for those who want some kind of comfort during your stay. Cisco Beach on the east side of the lake offers state campgrounds with vaulted outhouses. Campsites are primitive with fire rings. Gonefishing stays something at the state park in Garden City in the parking lot near boat launch. A KOA campground is nearby to the Garden City state park.

Anyone can stay at the marina over night. They charge $15.00 per night, and it is dry camping with out any hookups. The annual pass does not cover the overnight expense. Camping there is level and it is also convenient to stay at the Marina. There are heated bathrooms if needed if you are not self contained. In the past it has always been quiet and the pavement makes for a non dirt camping.
You need to check on the KOA because they may not be open. Condos are a real nice place to stay.tooexcited I am looking forward to seeing everyone at this outing again. The last one as always, was good fishing, fun and great fellowship with fellow fishing fanatics.

It's spring break for my daughter the week leading up to the 9th, so I'm torn between bear lake or going to the gorge, (leaning towards Bear lake) we would be camping either at the marina or Cisco beach, do they let you park pretty much where you want in the marina? Or is it assigned areas? I have a 37 ft 5th wheel so it takes up a bit of room. Also are slips available? It would be nice to not have to load and launch each day, any suggestions on what else is needed for the pot luck?

 

[Bduck]

Gonefishing usually stays at the north end of the parking lot of the state park. He also gets into one of the slips but I believe you need to check with state park officials for a slip. Dallas will probably chime in on this. Looking fwd to meeting up with you saltrunner. 101ok101

Glad you were able to get in touch with Scott. Looking fwd to hitting the big blue soon now that I'm hearing ice is breaking up. I'm heading to Everett, WA Monday am and should be back by NLT Thursday if this incoming storm doesn't alter my plans.

 

[Bduck]

Just a reminder that the gathering is around the corner and with the breakup of ice & open water at the Bear, a pre-fishing date is imminent. signfishin

[gonefishing]

I am going for sure. Just hoping that the weather works in our favor.
