Update:

• I'm going to remodel and improve this website during the next couple months, and start posting regular updates again.

• I've spun off my ancient Native American rock art and ruins section to its own website. I've got some good stuff there and I'll be adding more. I am also adding information about Native America Indian culture and attractions to that new website.

Flaming Gorge Burbot Bash Breaks Records

This year's Burbot Bash at Flaming Gorge broke all the records: most people, most teams, most fish caught, most tags returned and the most money given away. The event attracted almost 1,200 participants composing 563 teams. That's over double what we saw the first year when there were 485 participants. Anglers caught about 4,200 burbot in just two nights! Compare that to the first year of the Bash when anglers caught just over 4,000 burbot in eight nights. More.
