Hi All
Another Utah fishing report for those that are interested. ;D
My youngest boy Max and I left Friday around noon for a 2 and a half hour drive to the north eastern corner of Utah bordering Wyoming to Flaming Gorge. We were meeting up with a couple of his school mates and their Dad who has a boat that he kindly invited us out onto for the weekend. We arrived, loaded up and was out on the water trolling by 4pm.
We had 2 down riggers with lures a 60ft and another at about 15ft. Old mate hooked up to a trout (think it is called a Mackinaw? He is camera shy so I am holding it up) about 20 inches long.

Then it started to cloud over and the forecasted thunderstorms rolled in so we legged it into a nice quiet cove to ride it out for the evening.
70695
I got up nice and early the next morning (WHILE THE OTHERS SLEPT!!) and threw some lures around for little success. Can't complain too much. Stunning scenery.

Then off we went trolling deep again for the lake trout and Kokane Salmon. Nuthin! So for lunch we parked had a swim and relaxed. Thought I would throw in some of my favourite Strike King Lipless crank baits and came away smiling with a nice small mouth bass. (My biggest yet)
70698
Then the storms rolled in again. We decided to flee to the Wyoming side of the resevior (Keep in mind this is 44,000 acres of water).
