Host is Fred Jepsen
This is a camping trip where we will be fishing ponds and lakes near the Jepsen Ranch. Some locations can be fished from the bank, some best by kick boat.
Target Species: Rainbow, browns, cutts and tiger trout.
Drive time: 4 hrs.
Level of fishing difficulty: Easy to moderate. Some ponds are easier than others and depend on the year and time of year.
Access: Mostly dirt roads, some locations, if chosen, could require higher clearance vehicles. A 4x4 is not necessary but some of the roads are rough, so go slow. Some steep grades and steep drop-offs.
Accommodations: Camper parking spots are available on Fred's pasture and limited beds in Fred's house. If you are a tent camper, there are two bathrooms available in the house also. The pasture has power and water available, though power may be limited to smaller campers. There is a new campground nearby with hook-ups(?). Motels are available in either Wayne County of Escalante if desired, although this will add to the driving.
Weather: >8,000'. Cool nights and warm days.
Terrian: Lakes and ponds, some with shore access not requiring wading, others may be brush or weed lined and best accessed by kick boat.
Wading difficulty: Easy in some areas and do not require waders, moderate in others.
