Are you an angler that enjoys fishing Flaming Gorge? Then you’re invited to an open house that the Wyoming Game and Fish Department’s Green River region will be holding to discuss the future of the Flaming Gorge fishery. Several research projects have been completed over the past few years concerning kokanee salmon and lake trout in cooperation with the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources. The lake trout project was an eight-month-long creel survey and population estimate of lake trout under 28 inches. “The meeting will begin with a presentation covering past and present data to provide anglers with an understanding of the current status of the sport fisheries in Flaming Gorge Reservoir. The presentation will also include a section highlighting possible management options moving forward. Department fisheries biologists will be available to answer questions during and after the presentation. Anglers who fish Flaming Gorge are encouraged to attend.” The open house will be Wednesday, October 18th starting at 6pm at the Green River campus of Western Wyoming Community College in the John Wesley Powell Room (Room #206).
