Flaming Gorge Dam through Browns Park. Emerald water, 8,000 trout per mile. The river tops out around 12 ft. The contours are modeled from the water's real shoreline and maximum depth. Treat them as a rough guide, and never use them for navigation. Species by species, here's what the data says the year looks like.
The drawn water covers 642 acres wrapped in 47.7 miles of bank. That shoreline is heavily fingered (development index 13.4) — bays, points and pockets everywhere, which multiplies the fishable edge. All of it is shallow-zone water — under ~15 ft across the entire basin, so the food chain has the run of the place. Tip to tip the water measures near 16 mi with a 3.9-mi widest point. It sits in Daggett County. If the bite dies, Matt Warner Reservoir is 8 mi to the south.
Early season rainbow trout use the shallows, holding in 3 to 12 ft. Even in summer they hold at 3 to 12 ft; winter keeps them in 2 to 12 ft. Put Current seam (mile 6.2) first on the milk run — a current seam near 7 ft that grades prime for spring. In summer the feeding windows fall in early morning and the evening. Tie on a dodger + spoon (deep troll) or a flutter spoon and you're in the game.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 3 to 12 ft | dawn & dusk | Current seam (mile 6.2) (7 ft) | Inline spinner (silver), Small spoon |
| Summer | 3 to 12 ft | dawn & dusk | Current seam (mile 6.2) (7 ft) | Dodger + spoon (deep troll), Flutter spoon |
| Fall | 3 to 12 ft | dawn & dusk | Current seam (mile 6.2) (7 ft) | Casting spoon, Jerkbait over shoals |
| Winter | 2 to 12 ft | dawn | Current seam (mile 6.2) (7 ft) | Jigging spoon, Tube jig (white) |
Spring puts brown trout in skinny water — 1 to 12 ft is the zone. Summer fish stay in 4 to 12 ft, and winter fish hold in 2 to 12 ft. Current seam (mile 6.2) is the standout, a current seam at roughly 7 ft, rated prime for summer brown trout. Plan around after dark and early morning in the warm months. A spoon at the thermocline or a deep stickbait (night) covers the summer program.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 1 to 12 ft | dawn & dusk | Flaming Gorge Dam tailrace (10 ft) | Stickbait off planer boards (shallow), Small spoon along mud lines |
| Summer | 4 to 12 ft | night & dawn | Current seam (mile 6.2) (7 ft) | Spoon at the thermocline, Deep stickbait (night) |
| Fall | 2 to 12 ft | dusk & dawn | Flaming Gorge Dam tailrace (10 ft) | Jerkbait over gravel, Casting spoon |
| Winter | 2 to 12 ft | dawn | Flaming Gorge Dam tailrace (10 ft) | Jigging spoon, Small stickbait (slow) |
Spring puts cutthroat trout in skinny water — 2 to 12 ft is the zone. Summer fish stay in 3 to 12 ft, and winter fish hold in 3 to 12 ft. Current seam (mile 6.2) is the standout, a current seam at roughly 7 ft, rated prime for spring cutthroat trout. Plan around early morning and the evening in the warm months. A trolled spoon (small) or an inline spinner covers the summer program.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 2 to 12 ft | dawn & dusk | Current seam (mile 6.2) (7 ft) | Inline spinner (silver/gold), Small spoon |
| Summer | 3 to 12 ft | dawn & dusk | Current seam (mile 6.2) (7 ft) | Trolled spoon (small), Inline spinner |
| Fall | 2 to 12 ft | dawn & dusk | Current seam (mile 6.2) (7 ft) | Casting spoon, Inline spinner |
| Winter | 3 to 12 ft | dawn | Current seam (mile 6.2) (7 ft) | Small jigging spoon, Marabou jig |
