The gorge, again...06/29/20

[TrophyBoat]

Bombed up to the gorge to bring home the trailer, but not without trying to whack a few kokes in the crappy rainy weather.... Fished about 3 hours in the rain and caught a handful of kokes and trout on wiggle hoochies behind a sling blade. Hooked up the trailer and bombed home! 7 hours or driving for 3 hours of fishing is not ideal for me, but was happy to get on the water and leave with a limit!

Is this an indication your finished with the Gorge for the season? I know those 3hr one way drives there takes a toll in one day but that's been my way for last 8yrs. I have one maybe 2 trips left.I use to dry storage my trailer at Lucerne.

Nice catch Kody.

I don't do day trips to the Gorge or Strawberry. My trips to the Gorge are usually for 3 days. Leave on day 1 at 5 AM. Arrive at 8 AM and on the water with lines out by 9 AM. Fish until driven off by wind or 3 PM. Check in to the Villa Inn and relax until dinner time at Brownings. Get up at 5 AM on day 2 and head to the Buckboard, Lucerne, or Sheep Creek launch. Fish until driven off by wind or 3 PM. Return to the Villa Inn and relax until dinner time at Brownings. Get up at 5 AM on day 3 and head to the Buckboard, Lucerne, or Sheep Creek launch. Fish until driven off by wind or 11 AM. Pack it all in and head home. I bring breakfast and lunch food from home to eat on the boat or in the room. Motel room is less than $80/night split 2 ways. Fuel and home food is about $100 split 2 ways. Brownings is about $15 each night. Strawberry will be camping in my truck for 3 days/2 nights in an electric hook-up site (for charging the boat batteries) with all food brought from home. Five to six hours of driving for 4 to 6 hours of fishing doesn't work for me anymore.
