In looking at the 2017 Regs I see that trout beads can now be used above a bare hook, as well as a above an artificial fly (above meaning 2" or less from the eye of the hook), and further the Regs state that a trout bead used with a bare hook is considered an artificial lure in the same category as a jig, spoon, spinner etc. Within the definition for artificial lures the Regs state: "artificial flies and lures do not include living or dead organisms or edible parts thereof, natural or prepared organic food stuffs, or chemical attractants". I'm thinking this is to further clarify the interpretation/definition of "artificial" when the lure itself is manufactured..., but I have a question below:Q: Provided one is not fishing in an artificial only area of water... Does this mean that a bare hook, with properly positioned trout bead can't be tipped with any type of bait like is common when jigging or trolling with a spoon or spinner?
Not sure the G&F guys will be checking in here since it's Spring and their probably busy elsewhere. You might check into MyFishFinder.com, the open water sister site to this one. If I recall correctly there was a couple of lengthy responses to the bead above a hook regs earlier in this thread, you might find it easiuer with the Search feature too. It gets kind of slow in here this time of year! Tight lines to you!
Happy to be back on Ice Shanty for the 2017/2018 ice fishing season. Looking forward to answering questions pertaining to the management of waters within the Laramie Fisheries Management Region I will be happy to address all issues on fish management of waters in Southeast Wyoming. When appropriate, I will provide answers based on sound science and professional judgment and look forward to the opportunity to have thoughtful discussions on fisheries issues in Southeast Wyoming. Laramie Plains Lakes anglers, remember there are aeration systems on Meeboer and Gelatt.
Excited to join the Ice Shanty group, and looking forward to answering questions about the management of waters within the Laramie Fisheries Management Region. Good luck to all anglers this ice season!
Are there catchable size Tiger Muskies in North Crow yet?Thanks
Is there any truth to the rumor that walleye were illegally released into Granite Reservoir? I've heard this a number of times, even from State Parks employees, but never heard of anyone catching them.
Are there plans to stock Kokanee anywhere else in the state that don't have Kokanee now?
I cannot speak for other regions, but in the Casper region we would like to try Kokanee in several other reservoirs. Right now we are in a multiple year evaluation of Kokanee and Cutthroat in Alcova Reservoir. Once we finish our evaluation and make a final determination on species size and number we would like to try Kokanee in Pathfinder. At this point though, Kokanee requests from the regional biologists have outpaced what our brood stocks can provide. Our fish culture personnel have been working on alternate wild Kokanee brood stocks as well as attempting to develop a captive Kokanee brood. Once the egg supply can meet requests, we should have the ability to try Kokanee in some other lakes.

How many tip ups/poles can you use in wyoming?
Caught this deformed rainbow in pathfinder. Is this genetic?
