Flaming Gorge Browns

[300win]

I haven't heard that name before. I know Robert Bringhurst has the state record of 33 pounds caught in 77 out of the gorge. It sounds like there were alot of fisherman after the browns back then. I think the biggest Ray ever caught was 29 pounds. He was the most famous for fishing for the browns there I believe. I wish they still planted the browns there even though the chubs are gone. Maybe we would still get a few big ones. The Gorge is a pretty amazing reservoir. It sounds like it was something special in the 70 though. When you read his book you cant believe how many big browns they caught and he even said the Fish and Game netted a 48 pound brown[fishon] that was released. That would have been something to hook into.[fishon]
