Every year the cisco run to spawn in the lake about the middle of January.  The Cisco Disco has grown from a few local fishermen netting for bait to a fun filled day.  The Tollentino's fry cisco, fries and homemade scones, this year they fried almost 400 cisco and thousands of scones for the long lines of people who wait by the bonfire on Cisco Beach.  The State Parks open up the area for hundreds of fishermen and women.  Richard Droesbeck, Utah State Parks, said that this was the very start of the cisco run, so there should be good netting for a couple of weeks.

 

Later that day, the Bear Lake Rendezvous Chamber of Commerce hosted the Polar Plunge and a Chili Cook Off.
