Was there more kokanee stocked in alcova last year?
Just took a look and according to our database, 16,000 kokanee were stocked in Alcova in 2015.
What fish are being stocked in area#4 reservoirs?
And what happened to small mouth in Bridger pond?
Does Wyoming have any restrictions for using a combination of beads and spinners above the hook, on the leader section of a tip-up line? In 2014 there were GF notices regarding bead placement in relation to a hook, but I recall that was viewed as a snagging technique, has a formal decision been made on that as well?Example of tip-up leaders:(Image removed from quote.)(Image removed from quote.)
Game and fish should consider making trot lines legal in the green river system for ling only. Would that be a possibility?
I would love to hear the answer to this one as well. I'm afraid I know what they are going to say, they will be against it. Just like they are against the idea of using perch for bait. Utah allows trotlines (15 hooks max) and they charge a small fee for the license. Seems to me like a good way to generate a little more revenue for the G/F. They are probably afraid too many trout will get gut-hooked. The advantages outweigh the disadvantages in my opinion though. Would be sweet if our G/F department had an email address or something where anglers could submit ideas and proposals for changing regs or adding new regs.
Well they poisoned Bridger pond to remove walleye that not one single person would have complained about catching. Are there plane's of poisoning out the ling and restocking the bass in Bridger pond?
dumb question never used a trotline but how do they work vertically with 15 or 20 hooks wouldn't most of your hooks be up in the water column?
Question to the Game and Fish.We are starting to get the state wide minnows. Very nice and good size. I was under the assumption that everywhere I was purchasing state wide they were the medium size minnows. Well after asking and looking into the minnows they are the large minnows, 2- 2.5 inches average. A good minnow but come spring I'm looking for 3-5 inch minnow. I've understand from conversations among the Bait Dealers they can buy a bigger minnow from the Arkansas hatchery to sell but not cleared by the game and fish. Big minnows big fish!!!! Come spring I can catch a 3 plus. cub or shiner/flat head sucker. But doing so I'm restricted to my region. State can be available anywhere. Is there anyway that you could grant the dealers to purchase a cub or X that can have some size. Like the state just want a bigger minnow. What say you?
How many tiger trout were stocked in Woodruff Narrows reservoir? Are they going to be stocked annually? I recently moved across the state for work and I'll be giving this body of water a shot... looking forward to catching some tigers in there.
Response from the Green River supervisor. The Wyoming Game and Fish Department and the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources have experimented with trot lines and evaluated their effectiveness on burbot. When we have tried trot lines for burbot, both in the Green River and in Flaming Gorge Reservoir the by-catch of trout exceeded the number of burbot caught. Given that trot lines are likely to catch more non-target species than burbot it is unlikely the Department would propose legalizing trot lines for burbot.
Is there a natural predator that would reduce their numbers ? With the numbers of burbot in the green river system I'm in the belief they are here to stay... What are the future goals, plan's or whatever?
A letter to the editor in the Casper Star Tribune on 2/20/16 mentions the possibility of raising the limit on walleye in Pathfinder Res in 2017. Would you explain why this is under consideration?
And do you know when the public comment or meeting is in Casper?
