(Mike) Bear Lake, Spokane Co. Description

[Marc Martyn]

I was looking at the Bear Lake report in the Top 100 list. The description should be rewritten and explain that Bear Lake is a County park/lake and is intended for juvenile fishing. I can rewrite it and get photos if you like. That one report is likely bogus.

Current State Description:

Bear Lake ( 34 acres): Located in a county park off Highway US-2, about half-way between
Spokane and Newport. This is a family fishing rules lake: only juveniles or licensed adults
accompanied by a juvenile, plus holders of reduced-fee disability licenses, are allowed to fish. Open
season is year-round. Largemouth bass, perch, and planted rainbow trout, including a few
broodstock rainbows, are available. Channel catfish were stocked in 2004 and should provide an
excellent fishery. Access depends on whether or not the county park is open.



I have the 2007 Fishing Prospects document from the state that has updated descriptions for hundreds of lakes. After we are live we can begin the process of fixing all of these problems.

Looks much better. When I am up in the area, I will stop and take some pictures of the park, ramp and lake. It is a great little park for a family outing.
