The Wyoming Game and Fish Department has the only captive golden trout broodstock program in the world

Golden trout

Golden trout are not native to Wyoming, but they?ve been in the state for more than 100 years. These colorful fish are native to high-alpine waters in California, and over the years golden trout were stocked in high-alpine lakes around the Cowboy State. *Since 1985 the Wyoming Game and Fish Department has stocked 88 different waters with golden trout.

AIS watercraft check stations experienced increase in high-risk inspections, live mussels

AIS

The Wyoming Game and Fish Department?s efforts to keep aquatic invasive species, particularly zebra and quagga mussels, out of the state?s waters paid off in 2022. The department utilized longer hours and extended the season to inspect more than 65,000 boats for AIS. Wyoming remains one of the few states in the country not to have quagga and zebra mussels.

*Game and Fish personnel conducted 65,567 boat inspections in 2022, down from 68,140 in 2021. However, the number of high-risk inspections went up from 4,187 in 2021 to 4,747 this year. [ [link removed] ]*

Anglers encouraged to keep lake trout from Boulder Lake
Lake trout

The Wyoming Game and Fish Department is encouraging ice anglers to keep lake trout they catch at Boulder Lake, southeast of Pinedale. Removing some smaller lake trout will reduce competition for forage, which will ultimately lead to more trophy-class lakers. *Angler harvest of these small, tasty fish is one of the best ways to remedy the situation.
