    I noticed few of the 4+ pounders this year but I still caught quite a few, including one that was just over 5. Early season action was the best but we still did pretty well during August. I never...

    Honestly, there aren't any secret spots in WY. Keep going until you find an armada or keep going until you find the next armada. That's where the fish are. If you need more specific help, PM me. ...

    I don't care how deep the water is where I'm fishing, honestly. The river channel tends to produce a little better but there are exceptions to that. Anything with a cliff is where the old river...

    Wow, I was up the lake from Anvil and I was killing them on Friday and Sunday morning. Got out late Saturday and paid for it.

    Another WGF "Boat Safety" check

    I got checked by WGF again this weekend. They were professional, kind, courteous, happy to see that we were legit with throwable buoys, fire extinguishers, fish in the box, licenses, etc.

    They...

    Maybe things stay that way because not enough people demand better from businesses and their governments.



    Maybe that's why it's a dying town.

    You forgot a few things that would get you a ticket:

    Gotcha. I think we are on the same page now.

    Now the real question is why does it have to be so dang hard to just go fishing?

    Are we talking about the same thing? When I did the AIS certification in May, they told me you could get your AIS sticker online. I'm pretty sure I checked and you can do that now.

    I've never...

    It's all gone to a computer system and WY is phasing out the reciprocal permits that you used to staple to your fishing license. Too easy to fake or share I guess. Chevron doesn't want to get the...

    I've been checked several times on the Utah side as well. One time they drove their boat right up through the back of my spread and cut off two lines. That's not excellent boat handling. Also,...

    I think that's my point Bduck. If they are concerned about safety, why would they act disappointed when they couldn't find anything wrong with me?

    I feel the same way about any group or subset of police/game wardens/sheriff that care more about revenue than public safety.

    In this case, I don't condemn all of WGF for the 2 of them that were...

    24th/25th

    Headed up early on the 24th and got on the water by about 8:30 and fished until the wind came up.

    We caught 4 limits of 3# fish or better in just over 2 hours this weekend. Everyone was saying...
