Brrrr!! Flaming Gorge

[Fishry]

Some schools of Kokanee actually spawn in the lake at Flaming Gorge. This is mainly on the Wyoming side, hence the regulation in Wyoming that says all kokanee caught between October 5th and November 9th must be immediately released. I didn't know this until I moved to Wyoming. I also didn't know that they spawned this late in the year until a couple of weeks ago. I didn't weigh or measure them. I was in a hurry to snap a picture and let them get on with their business of making more for me to catch in the future. A couple of weekends ago a guy in the boat next to me caught on that was 0.1 lbs under the state record.
