I haven't been up in a few weeks, but usually up north towards buckboard is always good.
now that its getting warm, they're going deep, seams like around 60' is where they're being found. pink or orange RMT squids behind an RMT dodger usually can get them

they were on fairly decent right at the corner by swim beach and the pipeline 45 feet down. You will haveI better luck early in the day. Just keep changing things until you connect we even had some hit a big silver lure.

You can find every thing you need on the internet
It takes a lot of work to learn how to fish for kokes
and koke fishing is coming to a end
I hope you have downriggers and a good fishfinder.
put Berkley Gulp Maggots on the hooks.

look for boats fishing 30% of the guys fishing know where to go.
just don't stay with the other 70%
every one has his own way to fish, you need to know how for of a set back from your downriggers you want to use
how long of a leader between the dodger and lure.
your fishfinder will show you where the kokes are.
you will see a lot of lakers down 80 and 90 ft.
you can fish for them if koke fishing is solw or if you catch your 3 kokes.
[font "Calibri"]To fish in Flaming Gorge as a Utah resident you will need 1) A Utah fishing license 2) A reciprocal stamp from Wyoming to be able to fish the Wyoming side of the reservoir and 3) A quagga mussle stamp for your boat. This year the reciprocal stamp was $10, and another $30 for the Mussle decal. They can both be purchased at any store that sells sporting goods. You will need to bring in the registration for the boat and your Utah fishing license to speed up the process, but its actually quite easy and automated. If you cross over the Wyoming border, you will have to stop at the Wyoming state port of entry (weigh station) for an [/font][url "http://wgfd.wyo.gov/web2011/fishing-1001290.aspx"][font "Calibri"][#646464]Inspection[/#646464][/font][/url][font "Calibri"]. Once there, they will inspect and attach the seal on your boat. The inspection process never takes more than a few minutes, so long as you have followed the simple process of drain, clean, dry.

I see you bitched to someone on the Idaho board about telling about the good perch fishing at CJ Strike, so I guess you won't tell us if the fishing is good.
