Sweet blue water! Is that 87 pounder an official weight or some claim by fisherman? There have been 2 reports from the Gorge that I know of, that reported fish of over 82 pounds, not official though. A guy from Ogden said he caught a 52 pound Lake Trout in Horshoe Canyon last summer, July or August. I could easily imaganine there being laker of about 80 or 90 pounds at Lake Tahoe and the Gorge. Did the article say whether the laker was a Siscowet? The Siscowets at the Great Lakes grow to huge weights. They are mostly over 500 feet deep though. Are there any deeper spots than 436 feet at Flaming Gorge? My fishfinder once showed a depth of 525 feet around the dam area, with a fish at around 500 feet, but maybe is is just electronics. I wonder if that was a Siscowet, if there are any?
