Fantastic fishing this spring and summer

Whether you pursue trout, walleye, kokanee salmon or even channel catfish, Wyoming has angling opportunities for you. The forecast for these fish — and other species — looks promising this spring and summer. Wyoming Game and Fish Department fish division personnel provided a spring-summer fishing outlook for their respective regions. From beginner anglers to the most skilled and experienced, there is something out there for everyone.

Game and Fish proposes six instream flow water rights to protect native trout

The Wyoming Game and Fish Department is seeking instream flow water rights for segments of six streams in the Bighorn National Forest. All segments are entirely on U.S. Forest Service lands in the Game and Fish’s Cody Region. The proposed water rights are important to maintaining populations of Yellowstone cutthroat trout in their native range.

The Wyoming Game and Fish Department’s Commercial Fishing Boat Advisory Board will have its first meeting May 1 in Cheyenne. The meeting is open to the public and will be live-streamed. The seven-member advisory board will initially develop recommendations that will be presented to the Wyoming Game and Fish Commission for final review and approval.
