Day 1
While this may be a few days late in posting, I hope you enjoy the report. I made my first trip to Flaming Gorge in way too many years. While there weren’t any real reports on any of the boards I monitor daily, I was hearing by word-of-mouth that the kokanee were hungry. So I loaded the camper, hitched up the boat, and left home for the Gorge on Monday, 2 June.
When I arrived on Monday afternoon, the afternoon wind was whipping up the water too much for an adventure that day, so I took my time and off-loaded the camper and set up camp at Lucerne Bay Campground. There was hardly anybody there and site choices were many. I set up in Loop D, Site 4; right next to the showers.
Day 2
I took my time getting up and about on Tuesday and drove over to Sheep Creek Bay for the launch. I headed around to the channel on the east side of Kingfisher Island and had my lines down at 9:45 AM. Fifteen minutes later it was FISH ON. It turned out to be a healthy 18” koke at 2 lb, 3 oz.
The next fish didn’t come to play until 12 Noon and it was a 13” rainbow that was immediately released.
At 1:10 PM the final fish of the day was hooked and boated; a respectable 16” koke at 1 lb, 11oz.
At this point in time the afternoon wind was starting to get its speed up so I called it quits for the day.
