Wyoming > Ice Fishing Wyoming
A good read printed today (11/30/22) in the Gillette News Record
Special:
There was a video, I looked for it for 20 mins. I'm assuming it was deleted. Its was the Saratoga commerce recorded the public meeting with F&G discussing killing Saratoga lake. You could here the frustration in the locals. The Saratoga derby was one of it major events that brought in a crap load of money into the economy. Residents asking why is it so bad for perch to stay in. Long story short it sounded like they wanted to protect some rich peoples ponds. They destroyed/murdered a huge financial revenue to the local town. If someone finds it please post it on here. Its worth the watch. For me when I was in college we wish there was something else to fish for down in that part of the world. O well politics

I’ve been pleasantly surprised with the WYGF managing our fisheries over the past decade. They do a great job of collecting data to justify management plans and making that information available to the public on their website. I’ve emailed our local biologist on a number of occasions to ask questions about our local water bodies to which the office has promptly replied.
I spend a lot of time fishing in MT and when I compare the two states, Wy hands down makes a real effort to involve the public in making decisions. Or at least make it appear that the anglers have a voice.
I’m most impressed in the management of Glendo, Keyhole, and lake desmet in recent years. They’ve been doing great things to diversify the available species and ensure the health of our the aforementioned fisheries despite increased fishing pressure in the past 5 years.

Well thanks for posting the article on yellowstone cutthroats and what is planned for the bighorn basin. I have already reached out to the WY G&F to discuss what's in the article.I wonder if some drainages or areas were listed in there as a mistake- Hence "Bighorn Lake". I do know that area is a multi-species lake and has jurisdiction by two different states so for one don't know why that was even listed as there is no way that area is even viable for cutthroat trout due to it being one of the places that has a pretty pure strain of Saugers of which we have been told is important also to the Wy G&F.
I'll keep the group advised on what I find and just so you all know i'm part of a walleye club so i speak to the agency a lot about trying to keep diversity of fishery's and not one sided "Trout" talks.
Thanks again!

Sauger are a major thing for the game and fish since they do not stock catfish in boysen anymore due to the windriver having one of the last pure strains of sauger as well. Interesting read on all the topics for the fish in wyoming with the kill at Saratoga lake and all.

Why would common carp have been stocked in the past? I was under the impression that carp are not good for eating. Is that wrong?
