I didn't hear about the 40 lber on a fly, but we were aware that numerous big lakers ( I can't force myself to write " Big Mac's") were being taken.
I talked to Fishley on the phone from the bar ( I was at the bar not fishley) and he reported catching big fish down towards the dam somewhere deep in the Utah side.
Aaron Reid was having a great time with 20 lb class fish and Kyle Edwards, the talented guide, clients took an upper 30 pound class fish and some smaller ones Saturday. I don't know what happened Sunday. The majority of the lakers I heard about were taken on jigs, but a few were caught on the troll. All in all, when the wind doesn't blow, Flaming gorge is producing a lot of fish, both from the shore and boats
It is only a 3 1/2 hour drive from Central Utah so I am amazed that more anglers from the beehive state aren't up there.
I'll be eating those words when the Villa derby starts in a couple of weeks, 900 fishermen, 300 boats. It will be a good time for me to check out Lake Powell.
As reported on this forum the new gas station in Manila has the cheapest fuel around. It's a self service station that doesn't have to pay an attendant so the cost is way down so if you go to Manila doen't fuel your boat or vehicle until you arrive. You'll need a credit or debit card. Good luck and good fishing.
