Tim Wade, of North Fork Anglers, and Mike Kaul, of Two Rivers Emporium Outfitters, have put together a guided trip itinerary that will ensure our guests a fun way to explore Wyoming trout waters while pursuing the Cutt-Slam. Between the two fly shops, there are miles and miles of water waiting for goal-oriented anglers to accomplish the Cutt-Slam. North Fork Anglers in Cody and Two Rivers Emporium Outfitter in Pinedale are proud to partner with each other to offer anglers the opportunity to catch Yellowstone, Snake River, Bonneville and Colorado Cutthroat in their native waters. Simply, the Cutt-Slam is a program designed to encourage anglers to learn more about Wyoming’s cutthroat sub-species and develop more appreciation and support of the Wyoming Game and Fish Department’s cutthroat management program. The other attraction that goes unmentioned, but which has become quite popular with North Fork Anglers guided trip friends is the Cutt-Slam. Flaming Gorge, Fontenelle, and Big Sandy reservoirs have all seen native fish populations decline.Magnificent scenery, solitude, great hatches, and no crowds are what attract anglers to Wyoming. We’re trying to figure out an Achilles heel,” said Walrath.Īs of last year, burbot have been listed as a non-game species, which means there is no limit as to how many burbot a single person can catch.Īccording to Walrath, burbot are voracious predators, likely introduced to the river system illegally in the 1980s. It tends to throw the whole ecosystem out of balance. That has a lot to do with other species not having been around that species before. The hatcheries are located throughout the state. These facilities are an integral part of our efforts to provide quality fishing and conserve native species. Despite the apparent abundance, sauger became increasingly rare in the early 1900s, and the last one was seen in the North Platte River in the mid-1960s. The Wyoming Game and Fish Department currently maintains ten fish hatcheries and rearing stations. Sauger are a cousin to walleye, a more popular, but non-native, game fish in the state. “When a new species is introduced, they tend to explode and take over an area. A fisheries biologist holds a sauger, which are native to Wyoming. Brook Stickleback is small fish non-native in Wyoming where it co-occurs with native non-game fish including at least six species that are listed as Species of Greatest Conservation Need. It takes many hardworking individuals with a variety of jobs to preserve Wyoming's natural resources. The Colorado River basin contains more endemic freshwater fish species than. Wyoming Game & Fish Department Nonnative species pose a substantial threat to aquatic ecosystems. Wyoming Game and Fish Department has a statutory responsibility to manage over 800 different species. If we can get the burbot population pushed back enough, that the bass can at least sustain themselves, that would be a win-win,” said Walrath.īy monitoring the paths of the burbot, Walrath says Game and Fish will be able to better inform anglers on where they can catch as many burbots as possible to bring their numbers down. Even today Arizona boasts an impressive 30 or so native species of fish and. “I don’t know if it’s realistic to ever get rid of burbot in the drainage, so it’s just something that we’re going to see. PIT tags, or passive integrated transponder, are inserted into the fish’s belly which can be monitored by antennas to record when a fish moves upstream.Īccording to John Walrath, Green River fisheries biologist, burbot feed mostly on other fish, causing concern for native populations of the river such as smallmouth bass, bluehead, and flannelmouth suckers. Brown trout evolved from salmonids in Eurasia and North Africa and are considered native in most of Europe. It has a crimson slash on either side of the throat, below the lower jaw. In 1937, the first pheasants were hatched using sitting hen chickens. Named official state fish of Wyoming in 1987 The Cutthroat ( Oncorhynchus clarki ) deserves to be state fish, as it is the only trout that is native (indigenous) to Wyoming. These fish are being held for safekeeping at two facilities. In 1935, the Game and Fish, Sheridan County Sportsmen’s Club and Works Progress Administration put together farm lands and laborers to construct the Sheridan Game Bird Farm. The Wyoming Game and Fish Department has spent the previous two and half months salvaging native suckers from 56 miles of the Big Sandy River upstream of the reservoir. The Wyoming Game and Fish Department are using a new technology this year to track the movement of the non-native burbot fish in the Green River drainage. The Wyoming Game and Fish Department still raises and stocks ring-necked pheasants today for hunting.
