FLAMING GORGE: Good for small lake trout on most areas of the lake. Fish are in traditional areas on underwater humps and points. Kokanee success has slowed somewhat in the canyon area and in the Wyoming end of the, but certain areas are producing good action. Rainbow fishing fair to good for rainbows on most of the lake. If fishing from a boat try trolling spoons or Rapalas with downriggers or try long-lining with at least 100 feet of line behind boat. For burbot, try fishing with jigs late in the afternoon, early morning or at night on points coming into lake. These fish move deep so adjust your location accordingly. Anglers report burbot being caught in 100 plus feet of water. Smallmouth fishing is fair for larger fish and fast for the small ones. As larger fish have moved deeper try twist-tail grubs on lead head jigs or small plastic worms in about 15 to 30 feet of water off rocky shorelines and points. Crayfish-imitation colors will work the best. Drop shot techniques will also work this time of year. Smaller fish are still close to shore and can be a good way for kids to catch fish.

GREEN RIVER: Still good fishing. Caddis hatches have been occurring in good numbers. Midges have been on the water in early morning hours. Spin fishermen should try small Rapalas — floating, countdown and husky jerk — and small spinners, black, brown or olive marabou jigs and small jigs.

MOON LAKE: Fair to good for several species. The lake contains a variety of trout and kokanee. Anglers reporting catching fish from both the shore and boats.

PELICAN LAKE: Good to hot fishing for bass and bluegills. Some fish, mostly smaller fish, are still in the reeds while most others have moved to the deepest waters. Bass are cruising the weedline during the cooler hours.

RED FLEET: Good fishing for rainbows with an occasional brown trout. Bass and bluegill fishing is good to excellent.

STARVATION: Still getting reports from anglers of fair to good fishing for yellow perch, walleye and bass.

UINTA MOUNTAIN LAKES, STREAMS: Fair to excellent fishing on clear-running streams and mid- to high-country lakes. Try brightly colored lures or jigs, trout baits like worms or putty baits or flies by matching the insect hatch.
