[font "Garamond"][#800080][size 4]Left for Rockport Sunday 07-08-08 and returned on Thursday 07-12-08, we had a blast of a time, took two young girls with us and tried the fishing thing on Monday, they got kind of board after catching and releasing a lot of Rainbows[:/], so at about noon we stirred up the water with some tube action the girls loved it, [

My two girls meet up with some other girls from camp and out to the water we went, they also enjoyed the tube and water splashing them in the face, on into the night I went fishing, again lots of rainbows about 14-16” in size all you need is pop gear and worms and they hit about every time,[laugh] I tried the cove area on the North-East end (By the spill way) a lot of Bass in there, the guy next to me caught over 30 (Small) bass in this area (I do not think he has really landed a big fish) any way fun for awhile.
The third day we took a hike to see nature and lots of it, [/size][/#800080][/font]

It was the first time I have really seen so many sego lily’s (State Flower) the Mt side was covered with them.

Needless to say I was tired when I returned to the RV, got on the boat and caught 4 rainbows, the largest was 19” it got the lure stuck in it’s throat so it was a keeper. As for the fish photos my wife keep the camera with her for the kids, so it’s a fish story with out the fish photos, o-well you have all seen rainbow trout, like I said the bass was really small. Finished the evening fishing. It was calm and nice; gets cool about 09:00 pm so in to the dock I went.
Thursday AM fished a very calm waters and again landed about 11 fish, turned them back all but 3, when the rainbows hit they swallow and it’s a chore removing the lure.
Here are some tips for you.
[inline Rockport-view.gif]
Hot showers and full hookups
Rockport is located south west of the town of Wanship (off of I-80 east from SLC)
From Ogden, to echo, Colville, then Wanship.
Water Temp 71*
Air temp 95 at 3:00 pm (Very hot) I have burns to prove it !
Troll with pop gear and a warm, or small rainbow looking lure, also flat fish and cast master’s work (Rainbow colors) with about 120’ out.
In water 35’-40’ deep.
Deepest part of the water is by the spillway at 142’
From the bank-Bubble with 6 feet of leader and a warm gig up and down. (Many caught from the bank)
The water is about 6”going over the spill way, very full.
Boat dock’s are in and plenty of them.
Wind hits about 4:00-5:00pm then calm after 7:00 pm
A great time with Family and friend, and not to forget FISHING !![[Image: happy.gif]](http://www.bigfishtackle.com/images/gforum/happy.gif)
