Trip opportunity! I just had a cancellation for this Thursday, May 14. I’m currently on the water and won’t be taking any calls. Please reply here or message me direct. Fishing is picking up and has been good for lakers and the Kokanee fishing is going great.

We're just 5 miles from Flaming Gorge!

There have been many rumors circulating about Flaming Gorge and the amount of water to be released this year, as well as the timing. We’d like to clarify a few points and assure you that Flaming Gorge remains a top destination this summer!

It is accurate that between 660,000 and 1,000,000 acre feet of water will be released downstream. However, this will take place gradually over the coming year, not within the next few months. The water level at Flaming Gorge is predicted to drop by 12.5 feet in elevation by the end of September 2026, reaching a projected elevation of 6010.22 feet. This includes the usual drawdowns conducted to support endangered fish spawning downstream. For context, the maximum elevation for Flaming Gorge is 6040 feet, while the elevation before peak runoff is typically lower, at about 6027 feet. As of today, May 4, 2026, the elevation stands at 6022 feet. You can check the current elevation at the following link:

There has been talk about boat ramps possibly closing this summer. According to the Bureau of Reclamation, NO BOAT RAMPS will be closed/unusable before the end of September. This is great news!! Fishing and other recreational boating on Flaming Gorge this summer will be amazing.

Now that we’ve discussed the water above the dam, let’s talk about what’s happening below the dam. This year promises to be exceptional! Higher flows will keep the water colder, resulting in incredible fishing conditions. Additionally, increased flows mean fantastic rafting opportunities.

Beyond water activities, Flaming Gorge will host concerts, rodeos, car shows, and fireworks. Don’t forget to explore the OHV and hiking trails for even more outdoor adventures.
