    To fish across state lines at Flaming Gorge, you must have a valid resident fishing license from one state and a reciprocal fishing permit from the other state. For example, if you buy a Utah resident fishing license, you can fish the Utah portion of Flaming Gorge. After buying your Utah license, if you decide you also want to fish the Wyoming portion of the reservoir, you must buy a Wyoming reciprocal fishing permit. You can also choose to purchase a Wyoming fishing license. If you are not a resident of either Utah or Wyoming — and you want to fish the entire reservoir — you must purchase nonresident fishing licenses from both states. For more information on obtaining a Wyoming reciprocal fishing permit or a Wyoming fishing license, call the Wyoming Game and Fish Department at 307-777-4600. Utah reciprocal fishing permits are available at wildlife.utah.gov and from authorized license agents and Division office. It is your responsibility to know and follow each state’s laws and rules for Flaming Gorge. Reminder: Even if you are licensed in both states, you may only take one daily limit each day.
    More information about reciprocal permits
    ■ Utah reciprocal fishing permits are valid for 365 days from the day you buy them.
    ■ You must sign your name on your reciprocal permit the same way you signed your name on your fishing license
    Utah Administrative Rule 657-13-7 Code 23-20-3
    If you are under age 12 or have a valid Utah fishing or combination license, you can fish with two poles at any water in the state during its open fishing season. You may keep only one daily limit of fish. Using a second pole does NOT allow you to keep two daily limits of fish.

    Planning to use your boat in Utah? There are new requirements you need to know! Starting July 1, 2020, those with motorized vessels are required to:
    • Complete an online education course
    • Pay a $20 annual fee to use a boat at any waterbody in Utah
    Both the online education and the $20 fee will be required of owners of boats not currently registered in the state of Utah, but that will be used within Utah. The course, the payment portal, and more information can be found at stdofthesea.utah.gov starting June 30.
