Just getting started on the site but I got an opionion to share. Been reading a few of the comments and theres alot of negetivity about the guys keeping large walleyes out of Keyhole. I've seen seen guys leave that lake with a limit of 6 over 5 pounds each. That hurts a fishery. I say fine keep one sometime. If people beleive it's so wrong maybe we need to discuss this with the G & F. Not sure why a guy has to wait until a pike hits 30" just to keep one but we are able to take 6 walleyes any size a day off of most Wyoming lake. If a pike is such a great game fish to the G & F maybe they should start stocking them everywhere instead of just Keyhole. Most of our lakes here in Wyoming are smaller than the Dakotas, but theres no reason why we couldn't enjoy some of the world class fishing that is offered, if the creel limits were lower and a 1 fish a day over a set size was implaimented.
You have to get a Reciprocal stamp to fish the Utah sideFlaming Gorge ReservoirTo fish across state lines at Flaming Gorge, youmust have a valid fishing license from one stateand a reciprocal fishing permit from the otherstate. For example, if you buy a Utah resident ornonresident fishing license, you can fish the Utahportion of Flaming Gorge. After buying your Utahlicense, if you decide you also want to fish theWyoming portion of the reservoir, you must buy aWyoming reciprocal fishing permit.For more information on obtaining a Wyomingreciprocal fishing permit, call the WyomingGame and Fish Department at 307-777-4600.Utah reciprocal fishing permits are availableat wildlife.utah.gov and from Utah Division ofWildlife Resources offices and license agents thatsell Utah fishing licenses.A Wyoming second-pole permit is not validin Utah, even with a reciprocal fishing permit.A Utah second-pole permit must be purchasedif you’d like to fish in Utah with two poles at thesame time.
Is it true that minnows are aloud on Desmit and Healy this year? If so where can you buy them for those water ways?
What I think is really stupid is reducing the limit to 3 stream trout.

I know as biologists you guys spend quite a lot of time on the water collecting data. Netting, shocking,water sampling, creel surveys, and more I am sure I missed.My question concerns creel surveys. I spend quite a bit of time fishing year round, and can only remember being surveyed once in the last 3 years. I realize that the people doing creel work can not be all places at all times.I wondered what % of the data collected is supplied by creel surveys , or what weight is given to creel survey data ?Has there ever been any thought given to anglers being given a survey form(similar to a big game survey) at the time they purchase their license to kind of keep a log of fishing activity, or an online survey ?Would this kind of information be usefull ?Or would it be unreliable ? cost prohibitive ? lacking in enough participation to make it usefull ?
Why is the lake trout limit 2 fish on Half Moon Lake and Middle Piney Lake, while it is 6 fish on lakes like Fremont, Boulder, etc? Half Moon is full of those 16'' - 20'' fish. It seems like they need thinned out a little.
I carry a role of duck tape with me and a black marker pen and have whoever is with me put their names on witch ever they are using then your good to go. Everyone has to have there names on their poles that they are using. M.G.
