Guide To Fishing At Flaming Gorge Reservoir
AKA: The Gorge

Home to trophy-size fish, Flaming Gorge Reservoir, aka Flaming Gorge Lake, is a 42,000-acre lake on the southern border part of the state. Most of the 375 miles of shoreline are in Wyoming and the balance is in northern Utah.
Excellent fishing and spectacular views await anglers and boaters for a trip of a lifetime. Record German Browns and lake trout have come from these fertile waters, which also have significant populations of bass, catfish, rainbow trout and kokanee salmon. The reservoir is surrounded by Flaming Gorge National Recreation Area with camping and marinas in both Wyoming and Utah. Access to the shoreline, for fishing from the bank, is available at numerous locations around the lake - the west side of the lake near the WY/UT border is a good place to start. Area fishing guides and boat charters are also available. In winter, once the ice is safe, there can be some excellent ice fishing on Lake Flaming Gorge.
