We were hunting over the weekend at Flaming Gorge (Sheep Creek area) and stopped to do some fishing in the middle of the day.  We caught as many rainbows as we wanted and even a couple of cutthroat trout just tossing a gold kastmaster.  We probably got one every five casts or so, just fishing from shore.  

Pretty wild fishing and pretty wild catching in some pretty wild weather.

Sounds fun. Were any of the trout over 20"? Were you hunting deer or elk?

No, the biggest rainbow was about 15". We were after deer, but couldn't find anything but does.

We hunted the Brownie lake area for many years for Elk but never tried it for deer.

I got a pretty heavy bodied three point in there last year.  And, there's a lot of waterfowl and fishing to do.  It was a good time.

_We fished the Gorge from my boat Fri and Sat.  We saw a herd of 20+ big horn sheep right near the shore.  We also saw a herd of pronghorn in a different spot on the shoreline.  The fishing for bows and 2 big cuts was fast and fun.  For the bows we mostly used black or green 1/4 oz marabou jig.  The lake trout were not quite as cooperative.  My Livescope pooped out Sat morning after 5 min so that day we chased the bows more just casting to shore.  The wind finally kicked us off the lake Sat around noon.
