Flaming Gorge
 Flaming Gorge Reservoir rests at an elevation of 6,045 feet as part of the Flaming Gorge National recreation Area. Lying in two states, Wyoming and Utah, the reservoir has a total capacity of 3,788,900 acre-feet. It has a surface area of 42,020 acres and depths up to 380 feet. Formed by damming the Green River that project was completed in 1964. The lake freezes over most winters which makes for a growing season that lasts 5 to 6 months.
Anglers will be treated to one of the strongest smallmouth populations in the country. Also present in the lake are rainbow and lake trout, kokanee salmon and channel catfish.
There are many ramps and marina facilities spread out on the lake. Because of it great length it is not uncommon to run out of gas on this lake.
Flaming Gorge is one of the largest freshwater reservoirs in the United States. A thin-arch concrete dam rises 502 feet above bedrock. The dam functions as a water storage facility and produces hydroelectric energy for Utah, Wyoming and Colorado. The reservoir is a major unit of the Colorado River Storage Project.
The high elevation of the reservoir keeps temperatures moderate, 80 degrees Fahrenheit/23.8 degrees Celsius, during the summer months. However the lake does freeze in the winter months.
The lake lies in the northeastern corner of Utah and the southwestern border of Wyoming.

Report: Decided to head up for labor day weekend. It was a cold one. My dad and his work buddy were shaking in their boots they were so excited about the Kok Salmon and the Lake Trout Macs. I of course had my mind set on the bass. Long Story short dad and work buddy ended up with 0 Koks, 2 Mac pups, and a small Rainbow after 9 hours of fishing over the 3 days. I had 13 small mouth bass under my belt after the 3rd day, 2 of em at 4 and 5 lbs. Cold, Windy, and Great fishing. |
Tips: I was using a Gitzit Crawdad impression, anchoring 5 feet out at a depth of about 8 Ft, and casting at about that 14 ft of depth. Bass were only hitting off the very bottom, watch for snags and don't try to set at first nibbles, those buggers are cautious. |
