Every Boat Ramp on Flaming Gorge Reservoir (Wyoming)

About Flaming Gorge Reservoir (Wyoming)

The Wyoming portion of Flaming Gorge Reservoir encompasses the upper section of this 42,020-acre impoundment, where the Green River enters the reservoir through broad, sage-covered valleys before narrowing into the dramatic canyon section to the south. The Wyoming side offers outstanding lake trout fishing, with trophy mackinaw exceeding 30 pounds cruising the deep channels and underwater structure. Kokanee salmon provide exciting light-tackle action and are an important forage species that fuels the growth of the reservoir's predatory trout.

Buckboard Marina and other access points on the Wyoming side provide boat ramps and basic facilities for anglers. Rainbow trout and brown trout are found throughout the reservoir, with brown trout particularly strong near the river inflow areas where current and structure concentrate fish. Burbot, also known as ling, have become an increasingly targeted species, providing unique winter fishing opportunities through the ice. The Wyoming shoreline offers a more open, high-desert landscape compared to the canyon scenery of the Utah section, and the proximity to Green River and Rock Springs along Interstate 80 makes it accessible for traveling anglers.
