Friday 4-9 was a planned day trip to the Gorge. It turned out to be a no go with wind hampering the day. So my thought was to hold off a few days since wind forecast was not too favorable. [i]I woke up at 0230 Saturday, as I laid there for the next 20min the Gorge light came on and I then knew I was not going back to sleep. I reached over for my phone to check wind conditions for the Gorge turning out to be a favorable window of opportunity before the fan kicks in for that up coming afternoon. I tapped the wife and got that groaning "WHAT", this is the same response I would get no matter what but I said "I'm going to the Gorge". I know I'll have a price to pay with her when I get home. By 0430 I had things loaded, my little companion who knew something was going on so he wanted to be a part of it. We both now were on our adventure that has always been known to me as a turn & burn. By 0800 I was on the happy fishing waters of Flaming Gorge. I fished south of the pipe and got into a couple of large skools of koke. I caught 4 on the day, released 1 of those to continue to grow and lost another at the net. I managed 2 in the box. In the mean time 2knots & Rileyfish were fishing in SuperDaves new North River. [/i]
