Flaming Gorge

[BearLakeFishGuy]

When WYGF decided to raised the cost of the reciprocal permit and raised the cost of the WY AIS sticker, that is when I stopped fishing the WY side of Flaming Gorge. I have since figured out the Utah side for kokes that are similar in size to the WY side and I don't have to pay $60+ to fish on WY side. The cost alone made it an easy decision. The area from Hide Out up to the state line has really been producing some nice kokes the last few years. Admittedly, it is not as fast as it used to be since the overall koke population is down throughout the reservoir, but the ones I've caught are really nice. Lakers can be caught anywhere along the cliffs or humps off Swim Beach/Lucerne area and farther down the reservoir all the way to the dam. Just look for bottom humps/points and you can troll over those and pick off pups, or even jigging for them on the same structure works too.
