Williams Ford and Wolford

[EricCO]

Heading up in that area for a week of fishing in early AUGUST. Been there ice fishing, but never open water with a boat.

Can someone please shed some light on the following:

How to catch Pike at Williams Fork?

How to catch Kokanee at Wolford?

How bout camping at either one? Any designated camping or just pitch the tent wherever?

If I'm camping at Williams Fork, where is the closest place to get ice and gasoline?

Thanks much to anyone that can help.

As for Kokes at Wolford, I've always done best down near the dam. We usually use down riggers, set at about 20 to 30 ft., depending on what we see on the sonar. You don't need much line out behind the rigger ball-20' or so. I do best w/a silver flasher, followed by 18" of leader and a Red Magic(which is almost impossible to find anymore). Any orange lure like a Z ray or Dick Nite will work. A good area is from the last bay on the west side, nearest the dam end, out towards the tower and under the cat walk , then up the east side, 'til you start running into shallower water (1/4 to 1/2 mi. north of the dam. Depending on what year class you get into, the Kokes will run 12" to 20" or so, w/most in the 14-17" range.
I've never pike fished at Williams Fork, but it has some nice Kokes too. You can get some supplies at Parshall, but Kremling's better.
The fastest way to get to either lake is through Eisenhower and N. on State 9, which runs you right through Kremling anyway. We were at Wolford 2 weekends ago and didn't do well at all. It had rained most of the night, and the lake was pretty muddy all the way to the dam. They don't call it Muddy Creek for nothin'. Good luck

Thanks Davy! I'll let you know how we do.
