FLAMING GORGE — Fishing good to excellent for small lake trout on most areas of the reservoir. Fish are on underwater humps and points and also closer to shorelines. Fishing for smaller lake trout — less than eight pounds — from the river arms south in 40 to 100 feet is good. Use downriggers to troll spoons and minnow plugs within 10 to 20 feet of the bottom or look for suspended fish 40 to 70 feet. Good jig colors are white, brown and chartreuse. Rainbow fishing good to excellent for rainbows on most of the reservoir. 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. Try fishing for burbots with jigs late in the afternoon, early morning or at night on points coming into reservoir. Use white or glow tube jigs, two to three inches long and about 1/4 to 1/2 ounces. Smallmouth bass fishing is slow.

GREEN RIVER — Good fishing on the river. The traffic has dropped and fishing success has increased. Brown trout are spawning so be aware of spawning redds when wading. Dry fly fishing has slowed. Nymphing action is good to excellent. Flies to try include: midges and very small baetis patterns. Spin fishermen should try small Rapalas — floating, countdown and husky jerk, and small spinners. Also try black, brown or olive Marabou jigs and small jigs.

MOON LAKE — Reports of fair to good fishing for trout and kokanee. Anglers reporting catching fish from both the shore and boats.

RED FLEET — Good fishing for rainbows with an occasional brown trout. Bass and bluegill fishing is slow. Try fishing the shoreline areas with the most cover such as rocky points or submerged vegetation. The trout have moved back up into the surface waters and will often cruise the shorelines looking for minnows, crayfish and other prey.

STARVATION — Slow fishing for yellow perch, walleye and bass. Brown and rainbow trout fishing has picked up due to cooler water temperatures. Trout will be found near rocky shoreline structures or along the weed beds looking for minnows and other prey.

SOUTHEASTERN REGION

SCOFIELD — Fishing good or very good. Boaters have had success trolling various gear, including pop gear, spoons and crankbaits. Anglers fishing from anchored boats have done well using PowerBait and worms, marshmallows and worms or worms alone. Shoreline anglers continue to do well with PowerBait and worms or marshmallows and worms.

SOUTHERN REGION

FISH LAKE — Good success for splake by jigging just off the weedline and in 40 to 50 feet of water. Tip jigs with sucker or perch meat for best success. Rainbows are also caught at the same depths with jigs or traditional baits. Trolling has also been successful for rainbows and splake. Lake trout have spread out through the lake again and fishing is a little slow. A few tiger muskegs have moved up from Johnson Reservoir.

MINERALIZES — The lake level is slowing rising and the water is a little clearer. Fishing could pick up at any time as the water clears. Sampling during the last week of September found that rainbows are still very abundant and very healthy. There are a lot of fish 18- to 20-inch. Special regulations include artificial flies and lures only, with a limit of one trout, which must be over 22 inches.

OTTER CREEK — Rainbows have moved in shallow and fishing from shore is fair to good with most baits. Trolling also successful.

PANGUITCH — New regulations now in effect — limit is four trout, which must be less than 15 inches or over 22 inches.
