[size 1]It appears that the place to go is the northeast arm (firehole?) area of the lake. Is there a marina over there? There's a launch area, campground, and picnic area. Its manned by a ranger in the summer, but shuts down for the winter.[/size]

[size 1]More than one marina? Are there roads that go down to the lake, or would you just "launch" from one of the marina's walking out on the ice. The road off Hwy 191 out of Rock Springs is paved and plowed all the way to Firehole. You probably want a 4 wheel drive, even though they plow the road. Park on or near the snow covered launch, walk 100 yards to the rocky shore upstream of the launch, and start fishing. You can also access the area via dirt roads from the Green River (west) side, but you definitely want to pick-up a map. The Flaming Gorge map you can buy at Sportsman's would be extremely helpful.[/size]

[size 1]And how do you get to it? Via Green River or Rock Springs? Motels? Head south on 191 out of Rock Springs. You'll see a sign for Firehole Canyon, turn right, and drive right up to the ice. There's lots of lodging in GR or RS. [/size]
