[font "Comic Sans MS"][#800000][size 3]It has come to my attention that not only did the cost of the Wyoming version of the stamp go up in price, but another change has been implemented this year by Utah (and I assume by Wyoming as well). This has to do with folks that do not qualify for a resident license from either state.[/size][/#800000][/font]

[font "Comic Sans MS"][#800000][size 3]A friend from Texas bought a Utah non-resident license & a Wyoming reciprocity stamp to fish both sides of Flaming Gorge last year. Last week, he got a letter from Utah that stated effective in 2019, that reciprocity stamps would NOT be issued to non-resident license holders. If he wants to fish both sides of the Gorge, he will have to buy a non-resident license from both Utah AND Wyoming.[/size][/#800000][/font]

[font "Comic Sans MS"][#800000][size 3]And when I was buying my reciprocity stamp from Wyoming a couple days ago, I did see the notice that they would only sell them to Utah RESIDENT license holders. Now there was nowhere to input any Utah resident license information but would assume that if you get checked by a CO in either state that your license better be a resident license if you possess a reciprocity stamp.[/size][/#800000][/font]

[font "Comic Sans MS"][#800000][size 3]I’m fairly certain that the folks from other than Wyoming or Utah are not going to be happy campers (fishermen) when they plan their annual kokanee fishing adventure to FG.[/size][/#800000][/font]

Good information,people driving in from other states with expensive boats and campers can afford to pay a extra hundy in my opinion.I think hunting fishing license and fees are a bargain.I would like to see them increased by ALOT for more fish planting,hunting access and management, i also think senior discounts should be income based leave the discounts for familys with kids or low income.

Income based discounts? Come on, you're talking nonsense.

I started not to respond to this post but it got under my skin. To start with the Seniors have contributed to the system for years. Why shouldn’t the Seniors get a break. We still pay school tax, library tax, and a variety of fees for the children and families. Most of those folks that have those fancy rigs that you refer too have worked a lifetime to have them. So please stop criticizing. There are enough problems in this country with so called income inequality and give it to me attitudes. Nuff said!

[#800000][font "Comic Sans MS"][size 3]Didn't mean to start a war here guys. Just trying to educate the masses on the latest changes. Would it be asking too much to please keep it on track? And I'm not trying to play forum monitor either. just think it would be nice if we didn't turn this thread into a urination contest.[/size][/font][/#800000]
