I am going up to bear lake on the July 4th weekend to do a little fishing. I was wondering if anyone has been fishing this lake and if it is any good. I would like to catch some walleyes and maybe some panfish. If there is any other good lakes near Bear lake I don't have a problem driving. Just looking for some suggestions. Thanks.

Hi
I love Bear Lake. I go up there to camp at least once every summer. Fishing can be odd up there though. In front of the river by the access can be a good place to catch any species of fish. I have caught northrens, walleyes, crappies, largemouth and rock bass near the river. When I go up there though, im usually looking for crappies. I know a few different crappie spots. The only time I usually get a walleye is when I accently snag one. But a place or two you can try is if you are standing at the campground looking at the lake, look down the shore to the left and there is a point that comes out. Try working around that point and then there is a picnic/beach area kind of near that point. Try those to places. Hope this helps and hope you can reel in a few nice ones. Good Fishing!

I'll be up there on the 4th. also. I've fished this lake for the last five years. There is absolutely no structure and one big bowl. Your best bet is to put on a spinner or drag a Lindy Rig around the shorelines. I have caught walleyes all over that lake and there doesn't seem to be any pattern at all. There are some decent crappies in the lake and we have caught walleyes up to 23 inches. Good luck and we'll see you up there.

Johnsonator,

The fishing is fair at best. Last year, over the 4th, we never boated a walleye. A few decent crappies and some small northerns. A few years ago we picked up a dozen decent walleyes. So you never know. My father-in-law fished it on the opener and caught 5 walleyes. Don't count on much action but maybe just enough to keep you interested.

dafishinman or anyone who might be able to help,

Could you give me any suggestions on where to find the crappies. I am taking my kids (6,4,2) up the first weekend in August and they would love to catch some. I have caught some before on the West shore, but I think it was just dumb luck that we found them. Any suggestions on looking for them. If you want you can email me at

This weekend through a combination of stupidity and a malfunctioning low oil alarm I ran my 1997 115 Merc out of oil at cruising speed. The motor quit like the key was turned off, no bad noises. I thought it was out of gas, added 5 gallons. It started again, sounded fine. After 1/4 mile it quit again, the same way. This time I figured out it was out of oil. I added oil, waited awhile, and started it. It seemed to idle fine, so I idled back to the landing, but I could hear a fainter clacking sound. Not rough, but definitely a something was not right. Any thoughts on this? I am bringing it in, but what does experience say?

Last year one of my guides went down to the landing to pick up some guests and blew up one of our 175 merc efi. The oil tank was full, and the alarm didn't go off. Apperently the oil pump malfunctioned and witht he alarm not going off he didn't know there was a problem and she blew.

I don't know what your clacking is, but I don't think its good.

      Heading up to LV a week from today with the kids. Any advice for us? Staying on the West side but open to traveling if the weather permits.   The way the last few weeks have gone, might stay for good!!!

      Do have Wi-Fi in your house. Your going to need that to work with any of the cameras that send a signal and video to your phone.  Hardwire is the best but battery power workers well for about two months then you have to pull them and recharge them.  It is nice to sit on a beach in Key West and keep an eye on your house when gone! 👌

      With all the craziness in the world I’m looking at getting an outdoor security camera setup for my home. Anyone have ideas on what works well without a huge cost  and easy to do . Or is it better to go with a company to set it up.  We have recently had copper thefts in the area at farmers fields and bin sites and I know it will only gat worse as these things always do. I probably want something that hooks up to my phone as well and wondering if there is a good one with either battery life or if wired is better. Any thoughts are welcome.

      You launch on Moose Lake to get to the motorized portage. It's called Prairie portage. To get to the portage you put in at Moose Lake. From Moose you go into Newfound Lake. From Newfound you go into Sucker Lake. On Sucker is where Prairie portage is. There is a dock on the American side and on the Canadian side there is big sign welcoming you to Canada. Latourell's Resort runs the portage and the cost for the portage is $40 for a round trip.

      Will that blond haired kid have that cool little orange boat in the show this weekend? Saw him driving around by Muskego Point a few times this summer.

      Nope, there are parts of Basswood that allow motors.   Entry is from Fall Lake, and there is (I think) a motorized portage.   It is really popular in the spring...
