I'm not misinforming anyone! If you bothered to contact the proper authorities in a quest to be informed, as I did, then you'd know better. Below is the complete email interaction between myself and Mark Smith, Assistant Fisheries Management Coordinator, Wyoming Game and Fish Department. I keep a copy in the glove compartment of my boat and also my truck. You may want to copy and print this to have on hand yourself. It certainly seemed to work in my favor last year when we were boarded by Wyoming F&G and asked what we were doing with our kokes. Your welcome. RAY

Hi Ray,
In Wyoming, gamefish that are fully preserved in a shelf stable form are not counted towards a possession limit. Smoked fish would be considered as part of a possession limit while in transport. Fish that are preserved/canned in a shelf stable manner would not count towards a possession limit while in transport.
Hope this helps

I’d like to know if canned or smoked kokanee count against the “fish in possession” limit during transport , I understand it’s three fish per licensed person. We plan to fish Flaming Gorge and we don’t want to be in violation of any F&G regulations during transport back to our home state. Thanks in advance for your help. RAY
