Flaming Gorge quick Kokanee trip report 7/2-7/4

[Mildog]

Predicted winds chased me from other plans. Had some friends chilling and camping at Flaming Gorge so decided to go and mostly chill and hang out with wife and friends. Took the boat along just in case. Decided to try a bit on Wed. My buddy and I  Got out about 11am stayed close to camp since wind was forecast, caught 4 kokes and a few bows in 2 hours. Wind started a bit so we bailed and got off just in time! It blew 20mph to seemed like 40 or more did not let up till 9pm. Lots of Camps and canopies were a mess everywhere. We Spent a half hour securing and retrieving neighbors camp gear
as they were not around, ly a tent and canopy did not survive!
Got up early on Thurs (happy birthday USA!) calm and cool so we  ran out early, We got out limit of 8 kokes and let a couple bows go. 40 feet on down-rigger was best depth for us, silver flashers pink and or pink purple squids did the trick. Got a couple on the stackers at about 30 feet.
Winds and dusty, so had enough of that do we headed home at noon. Fun quick trip and better action than I had planned and a bonus trip as fishing was not main focus!
