May I please add to this question? With Nebraska being so close to Glendo reservoir, if there was enough public interest from all of us WY residents would the WYGF consider ever stocking Flathead catfish in addition to channel cats? (In Glendo that is)Since the donated flathead cats were "experimentally stocked" in the North Platte has the WYGF had any $$$ put away for the purchase of more flathead catfish?If there was enough public interest would the WYGF ever consider stocking Flathead catfish anywhere in the state?In your professional opinion, what would be the most ideal lake or river system to stock Flathead catfish in WY? (given WY had the funding and public interest)Has the WYGF ever considered stocking blue cats in reservoirs?That was a bunch of questions, but I really like to catfish. Thank you for your input.
There is currently a lot of buzz going around some forums I watch... the word is that certain federal fish hatcheries are losing funding and it could very well have an impact on our state.For example, we get most if not all of our walleyes from a hatchery in North Dakota. If this were to shut down what impact will it have on our walleye fisheries?... (Check out this article http://www.bismarcktribune.com/...68-001cc4c03286.html )There is also a hatchery in Utah I believe that would impact the Gorge and rainbow trout. Any news or information on this latest news the Wyoming G/F can comment on?One last question: Why has there not been an effort to establish warm water fish species hatcheries in Wyoming? For species such as Walleye and Channel catfish?
Laramie G&FI know that Diamond Lake was abandoned due to a lack of water a few years back and that Alsop took its place as a trophy lake in the SE corner of the state. It looks as though we are going to have another banner year for water. Is there any chance that this lake might be planted again and reopened for fishing? Thank you, Geo
Matt that was very well put
any1 know why alsop winterkilled!!!!!!!!!!
Do you think all the summer flooding is the reason for the huge boysen algae bloom? Have you ever seen this before? It is solid green in places. Do you think it could cause a winter die off?
Can you launch a boat downstream of dave johnson power plant and drive a boat upstream to the dam and fish?
As a nonresident whom loves to fish and hunt I am confused about the buying a fishing license in January. If in January I buy a annual nonresident fishing license since I love to ice fish, then apply for a big game license. If successful in the big game draw, do I have to pay for fishing license with my big game tag. This would appear that I bought 2 annual fishing licenses which I would suspect would be illegal. Would I be refunded one of the fishing license fees?
