Saw a post earlier about "shrimp" falling off an anglers hook. Is it legal to use raw shrimp as bait in Wyoming? Any shrimp like store bought not from a bait shop?
Has there been a change the last two years in how west newton lake in Cody has been stocked? Historically I have always caught a bunch of cutts in the lake although they were quite small. The last two years I have been averaging much larger fish but the count seems to be less.Thanks!
I heard rumors of sauger stocked in the N. Platte below Dave Johnston powerplant, kokanee stocked in Alcova and crappie from Keyhole stocked in Lake McKenzie...any truth to these? Thank you!
To my knowledge, there are no biologists from Casper who participate on IS. I would give the Casper Regional Office a call and ask to speak with a fisheries biologist about your questions. 307-473-3400
Could we get the Game and Fish to stock some walleye in Granite reservoir between Laramie and Cheyenne? Someone put a few in there illegally over the years and someone caught a 10lb+ fish out of there a few years ago?You recently put in 500 or so lake trout... I think the majority of them were harvested... With perch, crawfish, suckers and planter rainbows as forage.... couldn't granite provide some interesting walleye fishing if you stocked 500-1,000 walleyes in there? They obviously can do well in this lake. It would provide anglers in the Laramie and Cheyenne region a closer place to fish for them too.I don't think you'll see very many people complain about walleye in there... in fact it could increase fishing interest big time.
Why do all the rainbows in granite and crystal reservoirs look so sickly? Is there no feed in those lakes. The browns look fat and healthy. Are there never any rainbows that holdover from year to year in that lake. Seems like every fish you catch is a mirror image of the last one, 9 inches long and skinny as a pencil.
I had a question about granite is there any Kokanee salmon in the lake and if there is how many are stocked each year thanks
Hi WGFD fisheries folks, Questions about Soda Buttes lake in Albany County. Is there any way/are there any plans to flush the lake a little bit? Is the water there alkaline/saline or both? It's turning into a fun lake to fish with some nice trout caught, but never builds much ice and is pretty hard on equipment (the white crusts that grow on augers, rods, line, lures, my boots, the sled, etc.!). How long do fish actually survive in the lake? And just FYI - I've caught a few decent trout there (3+ lb) with stomachs filled with immature tiger salamanders. Thanks much for any answers.
I just read the regulations from the Game & Fish effective January 1, 2015, and noticed the change to small and largemouth bass at Grayrocks (thumbs up!), but more interestingly the creel and size restrictions for Northern pike & Tiger Musky...limit of 3 and 30" minimum length waived. My two questions are: 1) Is the mention of Northerns an admission of their presence in Grayrocks water? and 2) Was the tiger musky program not working as planned? Thank you.
Why does the GFP not stock fish in Crow Creek that runs through Cheyenne? Sure, some parts of it are a bit slow and probably polluted, but I have seen big browns live in much worse water. Looks like it would be an awesome fishery to me.
