come up every year with a family friend. phenominal musky, walleye, smallmouth, and sturgeon lake. have seen days where two boats have raised almost 25 muskies. i have caught my personal best on this lake and probably 90% of all the muskies i have ever caught have came out of bear lake. love this lake.

Bear Lake is void of any bottom structure. I think fish cribs would do wonders for the fishing in this lake. With a mean depth of only 5 feet, it wouldn't hurt to raise the water level about 3-4 feet.
