im sorry i didnt respond to your questions earlier. ive been on flaming gorge for the last few days. id be glad to answer a few of your basic questions, and point you in some good directions.
id start out reading the basic overview of the lake, if you havent already. also, the weekly fishing report on this page gives decent info.(although it is pretty much a canned response they issue every year)

the article that daymere posted, by bill furniss, came from the following website. there are a few articles that arent too bad. the info is slightly old, but you should find some useful tidbits.

the utah flaming gorge archive is also great. you'll find that a lot of the questions you have asked have been asked before. lots of good info on there.

i saw that you had some good chatter going on the utah board. youre getting some good answers there. id look for "sockeyslayer" and "fishley". they are the best, and if they have time should be a great help! also, visit kokeking- the wyoming moderator- on the following wyoming board (link follows) he can give you some help and is always glad to do so.

as far as me- im kind of in the same boat as you i guess. only maybe a year or two ahead. bft has been a great resource and ive seen my success rate go way up. we fished mainly for macs over this weekend and caught several "pups". (still looking for the big boys!) we also caught plenty of bows and kokes near the surface. it was a great weekend, but very windy! still fun though. good luck to ya! take care, bkidder
