GARDEN CITY – Idaho Department of Fish and Game and the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources have scheduled a public meeting on Tuesday, April 16 at 6 p.m. to share updates on the Bear Lake fishery, as well as work plans for 2024.
The meeting will be held at the Garden City Convention Center’s Lakeside Room located at 69 N. Parkway in Garden City.
Both states have an equal interest in the lake because it is split into almost two equal parts, half in Utah and the other in Idaho.
The fish populations include Bonneville cisco, Bear Lake whitefish, Bear Lake sculpin and the Bonneville whitefish.
All anglers and community members interested in the status of the Bear Lake fishery are encouraged to attend. Biologists and fishery staff members from both agencies will discuss the latest population trends and ongoing management work related to the fish found in the lake.
The event will include introductory presentations by both states followed by a question-and-answer session.
