fished the gorge

[Riverlution]

We left on Friday and got up and ready to fish at about 4pm. We pulled the all nighter. We did go down road number 11 and then headed south to the last little cove before the big cove headed to buckboard. We had tried to get as much info as we could. Night crawlers and glow jigs in the 2-3 in range were the best. We had the tent set up to go from 27 to 24 feet of water. My friend that went with me was in 27' and I in the 24' he caught 18 fish i caught 2. We moved the tent at 4 in the morning so everyone was in 27' of water and the numbers evened out a bit more me with 3 more him with 4. The total breakdown was one rainbow(a real nice one about 20" and fat) 13 Burbot the biggerst was 24" most in the 12-14, and 15 lakers. The bigest laker was around 22". We also found that they did like a little jigging. Not a ton but alot of strikes came just after a little jig. We also found that the charged jigs got more action. The action was consistent through the night with spikes around dusk and dawn. When we inspected the guts the burbs had all kinds of stuff in them form different minnows to crawfish. The best was the one that had two jigs in it. I would have pictures but my camera froze up on me. I think the burbot bash would be fun. I am going to try and come out for it.

[cool]Nice report, I and some of my fishing buddy's have been talking about trying for the burbot but aren't sure where to go or where to stay etc. Is best to get there through Manilla or should we go in from the Wyo. side, and where is the best place to stay overnight for a day besides on the ice. Sure would appreciate some good info if you don't mind[]. Would also like to fish for some of those big lakers if you have any ideas on that, thanks.

Go through The wyoming side through Green river. Much closer, Wiperhunter put a post up sometime back about motel rooms in GR. Or google them. Ace hardware will have what you need for stamps, jigs, bait etc. If you use more than two poles, your name, address and phone number need to be on the rod.

[]Thank you for the info, probably give it a go in a couple of weeks. It's a great thing when a fellow fisherman helps another, there's to many people that think keeping secret's is for their best interest when in fact we need to do our part in promoting the sport we all love, thanks again.[fishin][]
