Game and Fish:Recently someone mentioned on here that High Savery Reservoir is going through some kind of problems / transition? The guy on here said a lot of fish were dying due to the decomposition of all the sage brush? Does this have anything to do with the low water?Are these reports true? Could you give us an idea of what is going on?Thanks!
With all of the tickets at the keyhole tournament for people not having their names on their lines, a question came up. I have a number of ice fishing rods as my wife and two boys also like to fish. You can never have too many right? They all have my name on them so how does it work if I have them with me or take a friend that doesn't fish much nor have his own gear and he is using rods with my name on it? Do I have to keep a label maker with me and put everyone's individual name on the line if they want to fish that day? I understand the purpose behind the rule but on the same token, how would this work to be able to keep introducing people to the sport?
Wyo G&F Bio, its been said that a guy from sheridan has caught multiple 26+ inch tiger musky from Healy in the past few weeks. Are the stocked fish growing at this rate? Its my understanding the largest stocked was 9 in, and they grow at a rate of 12 inches max per year. Please give a bit of insight and correct me if the info I have is wrong. Thanks!!!
So how about some tiger musky in renner? Never got a response and i'm hopeful. Also i heard something about a change in the regulations on use of artificial light. The person that told me said he heard something about it on K2 news but didn't have much for details.
When putting in for moose I was allowed only choice for an area to hunt. Can you tell me why this decision was made? Is it to give more leeway for the super tag or trifecta? A reply would be greatly appreciated.
Quotas for moose have decreased over time. All moose areas are over subscribed (more people putting in for the tag than tags themselves), thus nothing will be filled on a second or third choice. Several years ago, the occasional moose tag was filled on a second choice, but no longer. So we just got rid of that option on the application process because it's just not going to happen on a second or third choice. Hope this helps.

Why does the wygfd insist on catering to non resident fisherman by promoting rainbow trout? They already have the platte and now youre trying to get rid of walleye in alcova? Most of the resident fisherman i know want to catch walleye, not trout. And least of all rainbow trout. Its very irritating that the wgfd is more interested in managing for nonresidents than residents.
