You can look for improved places to camp and reserve sites at the website [url "http://www.recreation.gov/"]http://www.recreation.gov/[/url]. As you'll see there's a lot of options. There's also unimproved camping in the upper end of the reservoir, from Lucerne northward. There are motels/hotels in Manila, and you also have Red Canyon and Flaming Gorge Lodge down near the dam.
Trolling for kokes has been good near the Pipeline, in Sheep Creek Bay below the red cliffs, and in Hideout Canyon, within boating distance of Lucerne. There's also other good locations further uplake and downlake if you decide to camp elsewhere.
Koke fishing has been hit or miss this year, at least at times. If they're not biting, you can always shift gears to target lake trout or rainbows, try casting for smallmouths, and then revisit the kokes later. Lots of options on the Gorge!
Good luck, Ryno
