Winter 活动
Snow Covered Adventure
The fun doesn’t end with the warm weather. Winter is a magical time of year here in Sweetwater County. Here are some of the top things to do in winter:
冰上钓鱼
Without a doubt, the best place to ice fish in these parts is Lake Flaming Gorge. Ice fishing here can be very good for burbot 和 rainbows, beginning in mid-December. Anglers also target lake trout through the ice. Smaller lake trout range freely 和 are often caught by anglers fishing for rainbows.
在一般情况下, smaller fish are caught on the north end of the reservoir 和 the fish become larger as the ice progresses southward. Firehole on the 绿河 arm, Halfway Hollow on the Black's Fork arm, 和 the Confluence area are all popular with ice fishermen after lake trout. Fish between 18 和 21 inches long are commonly caught.
Most of the burbot in Flaming Gorge are in the upper end of the reservoir, in both the Blacks Fork 和 绿河 arms. The best areas to start fishing are near the Firehole boat ramp, the Lost Dog area, any rocky points in the Blacks Fork River arm, 和 points in the confluence area.
It is becoming very popular to fish through the ice at nighttime. In the dead of winter, in the middle of the night, Lake Flaming Gorge can look like many small towns lit up by lanterns 和 headlamps. Whichever way you like to fish come to Lake Flaming Gorge 和 enjoy world-class ice fishing.
