Fish and Stay!!
Located on a working cattle ranch in the beautiful Fort Bridger Wyoming, less than two hours from Salt Lake City in route to Yellowstone. JoGee Fish and Stay provides a premier fishing experience for the avid fisherman or for the family get-away. Enjoy the solitude and relaxation of your own private lake and miles of river. Coyote Hollow Lake offers canoe, paddle boat, and shore fishing with two docks and plenty of room to test your fishing skills. Spend the night on the lake at the single room cabin and sit around the campfire roasting marshmallows overlooking the lake and the Uinta Mountains.
If river fishing is your thing, enjoy undisturbed fishing on private property on miles of the Black's Fork River.* Fishing the river gives you the opportunity to fish the same stretch of stream that is home of the first recorded instance of fly fishing west of the Mississippi. On July 8, 1847, Mormon Pioneer Wilford Wodruff described fishing this stretch of stream as follows:
As soon as I got my breakfast I riged up my trout rod that I had brought with me from Liverpool, fixed my reel, line, & Artificial fly & went to one of the brooks close by Camp to try my luck catching trout. The man at the fort said there were but vary few trout in the streams, And a good many of the brethren were already at the creeks with their Rods & lines trying their skill baiting with fresh meat & grass hoppers, but no one seemed to ketch any. I went & flung my fly onto the [-] And it being the first time that I ever tried the Artificial fly in America, or ever saw it tried, I watched it as it floated upon the water with as much intense interest As Franklin did his kite when he tried to draw lightning from the skies. And as Franklin recieved great Joy when he saw electricity or lightning descend on his kite string in like manner was I highly gratifyed when I saw the nimble trout dart my fly hook himself & run away with the line but I soon worried him out & drew him to shore & I fished two or three hours including morning & evening & I cought twelve in all And About one half of them would weigh abought 3/4 of a pound each while All the rest of the camp did not ketch during the day 3 lbs of trout in all which was proof positive to me that the Artificial fly is far the best thing now known to fish trout with.
Come and take the Wilford Woodruff challenge and try to catch 12 fish in less than three hours! Get away from the hustle and bustle of life and build a relationship with your kids while floating the lake. Whatever your reason, you will never forget your time at JoGee Fish and Stay!
