Fishing the waters of Wyoming.
A Wyoming fishing license is required for any type of fishing in Wyoming. You can purchase the appropriate fishing licenses through the Wyoming Game & Fish Department. Kids under 14 fish for free; nonresidents must be with a licensed adult. If you plan to fish on the Wind River Indian Reservation, you will need to purchase a Wind River Tribal Fishing/Trespass Permit or a Yellowstone permit. Local guides and outfitters are valuable resources for any fishing trip to heighten your experience and increase your chances of success.
Unlock the full potential of your Wyoming adventure by booking a guide or outfitter who knows the land, wildlife and hidden gems like no one else.
