Possible Flaming Gorge trout ice fishing tournament
« on: Dec 27, 2010, 09:52 PM »
So Here is the dea....I have been putting alot of thought into putting on a ice fishing tournament on Flaming Gorge Reservoir to earn money toward the Wyoming Down Syndrome Association. I will be talking to them about this tomorrow. Please leave your feedback asap on your thoughts. Always wondered why there wasn't a trout tournament during the winter. Dates would be looking like February 19th and 20th if I can get this together and calling it Jiggin' For Wyoming Down Syndrome! Hope to hear from you all soon and I will be looking into this as well with more information to make this happen. It would be for an amazing cause to help support education, information, networking opportunities and support for families and individuals with Down syndrome in the state of Wyoming.

I talked to the Wyoming Game & Fish Department and sent in my contest application. They said it should be approved for sure, but the one down side is they do not want Lake Trout as a fish for the derby since they are trying to protect the trophy fish. So the Jiggin For Wyoming Down Syndrome would include Rainbows, Browns, Burbot and possibly a special class for Kokanee....we know they are tricky and tough to catch through the ice. Still needed for feedback please!

wyoming game and fish have zero to do with derbys on a fedreal body of water maybe they take it to the forest service but it does have to get a permit from ashley natinal forest first! just want you to have all your bases covered! like i said if i can help holor! koke's are not that hard to catch it's just finding them it would be fun to get some money going on them then maybe some would try harder to find them?

How 'bout the smallest laker caught???? lol. They want everyone to keep all the eaters anyway...just make this sucker a little different. I guess if they say no then it's a no but just sayin that could work...or closest to 2 lbs or 4 lbs something like that. Just cuz it's so easy to luck into the little ones when fishing for bows.
