I called the game warden and asked about the rumors floating around about the changes in the regs. around the sw corner of Wyoming.
Here's the deal :
Fontenelle and Sulpher Creek are going to winter regs (six lines allowed).
The Kemmerer City Res. is still artificial only.
There is no longer a slot-
Allowed three fish per day-only one over 16" -and three in possesion.
All of these take effect Jan. 1
I asked if sleds were allowed on the City and he said they are ok.
He asked that we spread the word, as he hates to write tickets... :'(

The City Res. is still artificial bait only. There was a rumor that they were going to allow bait, but that did not happen. He said that scent sprays were ok.

Do you know if they are going to allow live bait at foutnelle?
-
WYOiceman, I don't think you're allowed to use live minnows. I could be wrong, but I really don't think that I am. We use sucker meat and dead minnows a lot.
You can use mealys, nightcrawlers, powerbait, etc... At the City Res., all you can use is bare jigs.

Are they allowing 6 poles at the Gorge too??? Anyone know?
-
I haven't heard that POK3s. I asked about Fontenelle and the City Res..I kinda doubt that too. But, I could be wrong. I am going to see him this weekend and I will ask.

Flaming Gorge Res. is added to list of Special Winter Ice Fishing Provisions. That means 6 lines.
Big Sandy Res. is also on there.
Better get them tipups out and shined up ;) :tipup:
Also, No limit on ling and walleye in Carbon, Lincoln, Sublette, Sweetwater, and Uinta counties. Go Get Em Boys...
-
Lake Desmet is also one of the new winter ice spots. Me and Iceneyes are going to try to find where the walleye are hanging out.
-
Just to followup on the Regs, Healy Res also has been changed to the Winter Ice Regs. Everyone that fishes it needs to keep there 50. Way to many little 4-5"ers. :tipup:
-
You can now use bait on Healy year round again. Just No live minnows. Maybe now we can put a dent in the over populated perch problem at Healy.
IcenEyes and PC, I would be up for a walleye recon mission out to Desmet some day next week.
-
How about Monday or Tuesday? You have any dead minnows. I think that i have some frozen into my bucket. :tipup:
-
No, I had the kids dump the minnows and they did a helluva lot better job then I usually do!! They did not leave a minnow in the bucket, I dont ever think I have done that!
Monday or Tuesday would be great. How is the ice out there?
Is that Garth that finally signed up?
-
I was told by one of the Road guys that just about all of the lake is covered, I'm not to sure about that after this little warm spell. I might have to check it out this weekend sometime. And yes that is Gus that finnaly signed up. See ya in the Mornin.
-
ya I was reassured shortly after posting my last response that the Gorge was going to 6 lines. Gotta love it. Don't thing me and my dad have 12 poles and we've never even used tip ups before! IT'S GOING TO BE FFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUNNNNN NNN!!!!
-
Gonna hit the gorge sunday if this storm blows through. I've never used a tipup without live bait. Can you catch lake trout on tipups without minnows?
By the way what exactly is a tube jig?
I know I'm showing my laker ignorance here.
-
Tip ups will pickup some mac`s, but not many.
A tube jig is just that, a plastic tube with a weight inside of it. They are really effective on the Gorge for all types of fish. Here is a link to my favorite brand even though their are other ones out there that are just as effective.

We've had pretty good luck catching macs on tipups with either a dead minnow on the bottom or a chunk of sucker meat about 2" long, but that was on Boulder, New Fork and Fremont. ;D
-
Thanks again. I plan on giving out my own advice after I catch a Bunch of twenty pounders later this week ;D
Does anyone know if theres ice at the buckboard yet?
-
There wasn't any good ice at south buckboard yet, but I don't know about buckboard cove itself.
