A very large lake trout (click image for detail) |
I provide guided light-tackle lake trout fishing trips. You do the rod handling and catching. This is NOT just trolling around. I locate the fish, position the boat over them, and you drop jigs right to the fish. The presentation of the jigs is slow and smooth, not ripping jigs up and down violently. I have over 2500 days fishing experience on Flaming Gorge, and have been guiding since 1981. Visit my website at WWW.FISHFLAMINGGORGE.COM
