Flaming Gorge--Where to go and how to get there

[Kent]

Few anglers will share one of their honey holes for catching macks at Flaming Gorge. A couple suggestions. Get up there and talk to some of the local people in the businesses that cater to visitors. They may not know (or not willing to share) the exact area that one should fish, but they will probably get you fairly close. After all, they want you and many other visitors to keep coming back. If possible, start fishing as early as you can -- daybreak at the absolute latest. One thing about ice fishing is that while people are fishing they are visible, unless they are inside of an ice shack, and secondly until the next snow storm the holes that they have drilled are visible. Take a pair of binoculars with you and do some checking on how others are doing. One problem at The Gorge is that often the fish stay concentrated in an extremely small area (because of certain underwater structure that attracts them) and you can miss a honey hole by only a few feet.
