Always confirm regulations with the official state regulations before fishing — rules change, and waterbody-specific exceptions apply.
Waterbody-specific rules
- Trout: creel limit 4 per day or in possession; no more than 3 shall be kokanee salmon
- Lake trout are nongame fish: no creel or possession limit on lake trout 28 inches and smaller; no more than 1 lake trout in possession over 28 inches
- All kokanee salmon caught from September 10 through November 30 shall be released immediately
- All smallmouth bass shall be returned to the water immediately
- All game fish shall be kept whole until the angler is off the water or ice and done fishing for the day
- The possession or use of gaffs for landing fish is prohibited
- A Utah reciprocal fishing stamp ($30) allows a Wyoming resident license holder to fish the entire reservoir (Section 30 reciprocal agreement)
