San Diego & SoCal Fishing Forums

I forwarded a link to my brother. who lives in Rock Springs. You met him in the "Grumpy Old Men" posts in the old SDFish. He fishes Flaming Gorge and has a cabin on a lake near Pinedale, Fremont Lake I think. He is going to be jealous as he is more or less confined to the lawn chair setup these days ...

Just giving you an attaboy for schooling a fish biologist who probably knows more than everyone on here combined.

Plus, I’d miss the free entertainment

If you miss bass fishing and there are big browns up there…. Here’s a possible solution

Well done! Beautiful fish. Forbidding country. Do you have a snowmobile yet?

Edit: Forbidding country but environmentally fragile. My brother showed me some ruts that were made by pioneers as they traveled the Oregon Trail. Much of the landscape up there has been marred by surface mining.

I came across this and wanted to share. Kinda crazy right?

Awesome fish report and beautiful photos.

Man, those fish are absolutely beautiful. Zero flaws

Right below the dam, the Green River is spectacular fishing. My only regret is not using heavier line. Lost some monsters. Still landed over 100 Rainbow/Browns on a 6 hour drift in a float tube.

Got mine about a year ago.

Nice gentleman at our local boat ramp handed me the pamphlet which contained the test. I took it, sent the $10, and had my temp card in 10 days and my permanent card in about a month.

I'm now seeing companies charging quite a bit for 'classes', for something that is ...

Very nice personal best….

I have great fishing up here in Wyoming too.....if you like trout. I do like trout and have caught 9 different species (if you count grayling and hybrids), but I still miss my SD county bassies, as well as the pan fishing. And of course, the weather back home in the winter time.
