Fall is supposedly here, fishing season heating up

CASPER, Wyo. (Wyoming News Now) – Even though it might not feel like it just yet, we are officially four days into the Fall season.

With that, comes the official start to the Fall fishing season here in Wyoming. One of the great things about living in the Cowboy State, you’re able to fish year round, however some of the best fishing happens during the fall.

Wyoming Game and Fish Departments, Casper Region P.I.O., Janet Milek, says, “This time of year places like Glendo, as the water cools, the fish become more active and more vicarious in feeding.” Milek continues, It’s much easier to get them on your line at that time, so whether you’re fishing for perch, or walleye, any of those species, are really fantastic to hit this fall.”

While there isn’t much of a difference in regulations entering the new season, Milek say’s A.I.S. requirements are still in place. “We want to remind people especially with news of surrounding states continually having these zebra mussels being found, we want to make sure that we keep them out of Wyoming.”

Check stations for A.I.S. throughout the state will have reduced hours.
