Another trip to flaming gorge






We went to flaming gorge again for my birthday week-end and really had a fun time fishing for those Kokanee Salmon. They are the funnest fish to catch and the hardest
to catch. I finally caught 2 big salmon and lost a couple. John caught 2 also and
lost a few. I also caught a lake trout that was a good size. We enjoyed camping and
swimming also. If you ever been to Wyoming you know that the wind can be pretty fierce. It tried it's hardest to blow our tent away again. Luckily we got off the
water before the wind storm came. Last year it almost sank us out in the water and
when we got back our tent had blown away and we had to look every where for it. It
ended up about 500 feet from our campsite. It had a double air mattress, 2 chairs
and other stuff that should have weighed it down as well as being staked down but
the Wyoming wind can really get ya. The water is so clear that John went snorkeling
and saw lots of fish. I am so scared to jump in thinking one of those big teeth salmon is going to have me for lunch that I finally found a raft that you can lay on
and get wet but not feel what's under you. Give me a swimming pool and I am fine.
The antelope roam all over the camp grounds. When I was going to the restroom I ran
smack into one large buck with big horns. It scared me as much as I scared it. The
Males have beautiful black triangle faces and big horns. They roam all around which
is quite interesting to watch.
