Don't know if this post is still alive, but we'll try.
I'm located in Cache Valley - N. Utah. My kids are going to summer camp at Luther Heights, right by Alturas. So I was thinking of just staying up there for the week of camp (rather than drive 4 times).
Was thinking it would be fun to bring my 12ft flatbottom Jon boat and do some fishing. Maybe explore a few of the lakes around there. Have a small gas, and electric trolling motor. But now I wonder if it's worth it. Sounds like the fishing isn't so great there? And is it all catch-n-release? I was hoping to catch some dinner. What kinds of fish are in those lakes? I'd love to meet some Kokes!
Would downriggers be of value? How deep does it get?
Seen a number of ski-type boats, and I guess it can get pretty windy and rough at times, no? HOPE not to have such a wicked storm as the one you describe! I think my son may have been up at camp when that came through!
Just trying to decide if towing the boat for 6-7 hours of drive, and up-n-over Galena pass would be worth it. Or just bring some waders, and plan on pitching from shore?
Any input would be appreciated. Thanks.
