Cisco Disco

[RipNLips]

Lake Trout are the only piscivores non-native fish of significance in Bear lake. They have not effected the Cisco population significantly. However, both the Idaho and Utah F&G are closely monitoring how the planting of Bonneville Cutthroat (Bear Lake subspecies) are effecting the predator prey balance. They are aware that planting Cutthroat in excess could strain the Cisco population. Idaho does have the Bonneville Cisco listed as sensitive. Nevertheless, an estimated 9 million Bonneville Cisco will migrate to the rocky shorelines to spawn within the next several weeks. They're doin' Ok for now. We'll see what the future holds.
