[quote Jordanporritt]The guy was just asking for some tips or to be pointed in the right direction. No reason everyone needs to give him such a hard time for asking. ... there is no reason everyone needs to jump on his case for asking.[/quote]
It's interesting to me to read such requests as Fishn_Wasatch's request for information. It is no different than me wanting that kind of information about some of my bucket list fishing trips. So I understand his post. However, as someone who has hired a guide a time or two, spent a little time and money chasing them, and actually boating a few of those beautiful beasts, I can fully understand the responses of many of the replies here.
I was quite surprised to see so many tips provided by local pro TarponJim. Those pointers are excelent starting points. I would add one more thing ... get a copy of the Fish-n-Map Co. for Flaming Gorge.
But really, like others here, I would HIGHLY recomend that Fishn_Wasatch hook up with a guide or someone that is successful at catching Gorge lakers. Reading, research, watching videos, and getting advice here on BFT does provide some information on how to catch them but NOTHING like fishing along side a reputable guide.
