Trolling Method

Are Flaming Gorge Fishing Guide Capt. Steve trolls, using down riggers and lures that trigger savage strikes, from fish that are aggressively feeding. We use light tackle, so you feel all the action and power of these monstrous fish, With a medium drag setting, it will still take 15 to 30 minutes to get an average Lake Trout to the boat.

     The other popular method of fishing for lake trout is jigging. We do not jig, but if you would like, we can refer you to Fishing guides that does, The difference being, with jig fishing you try and hover directly over the fish and jig straight down while you try to entice the fish to take your lure barely moving. Jig fishing is much more intense and you must have 100% attention and focus all of the time, or you will miss the bite.
    The type of fishing at Flaming Gorge we do is much more relaxed, almost a party atmosphere, eating, telling stories and relaxing in-between bites. But when a big one hits, all heck breaks out as the rod doubles over and the reel begins to Scream, on many occasions we will have double hook ups, with fish on two different rods.

Fish of Flaming Gorge Reservoir

Lake Trout Fishing is for people going for the big boys in Flaming Gorge,These fish can weigh over 50 lbs. We typically catch fish from 34'' to 44". The best lake trout fishing is April through August and December until ice up. But we also fish for Kokanne Salmon, Rainbow Trout and Brown Trout. If you wish, we can target any species you would like to fish for. Please let us know at the time you book your trip so we can prepare the necessary gear and plan for that type of fish.
Kokanee Salmon fishing has reached an almost cult like following, this fish is highly prized for its great taste and thick fillets. Flaming Gorge has become famous for producing the largest Kokanee Salmon in the country. The average fish is 3 lbs. and some are as large as 4 to 6 lbs. The best time to fish for Kokanee Salmon is in the morning . We can set up your fishing trip to fish for Kokanee in the morning and Lake Trout Fishing in the afternoon if you would like, or we can fish for both types of fish at the same time by stacking the down rigger with different lures. The best Kokanee fishing occurs from June through September.
Rainbow Trout are plentiful in Flaming Gorge and typically weigh 1 to 3 lbs. They tend to bunch up in certain areas of the lake and move around. So If we are going after Rainbow it's important to know ahead of time so we can find them the day before we take you.
Brown Trout are the hardest fish in the lake to target, but the stay in the same areas year after year. Fishing for brown trout is good in April, May, June and late October through December. When we are fishing for Browns we will also catch Rainbow, Kokannee and Lake Trout even when we are specifically trying to catch Browns, Browns bite best in the morning and are more plentiful in the north part of the lake.
