  Gasoline boat motors are prohibited from use on Bear Lake; however, use of electric trolling motors is allowed. Numerous brush piles located around the lake typically hold schools of bream and/or largemouth bass and are good locations to target. Locations of these brush piles are marked with bullet-shaped buoys located throughout the lake. Largemouth bass anglers will be more successful during the early morning and the early evening hours. Dark-colored plastic worms and floater-diver type lures should be two of the more productive artificial baits when used along the shoreline or within the flooded timber. Rat-L-Traps are also effective according to numerous bass anglers. Larger bluegill and redear sunfish (shellcracker) will be congregating on beds throughout the lake. Live baits such as red worms, wigglers, and crickets fished on light tackle in 2 to 5 feet of water are the best bet. As with bass, the most productive fishing seems to be early morning and late afternoon/early evening.
