Flaming Gorge hasn't produced browns like that since the 70's..FG is a completely different fishery now. It's mostly dominated by lake trout/kokanee. The smallmouth bass also had a part in putting the axe in the trophy brown trout fishery.
There are several other reservoirs in Utah that have enough forage to sustain a huge brown. Scofield would be one of them off the top of my head. In fact, almost every single reservoir in Utah has browns in them..Nobody really puts any effort in to catching them. People need to get flaming gorge out of their head if they want to get a big brown, and look elsewhere.
