Do i need to have the Wyoming invasive species tags? Also i heard something about having some sort of seal put on your boats, what are they?, where do you get such things done? This has been one of my big concerns over fishing the gorge lately is I'm not sure of all the invasive species regs and don't want to get in trouble or spend a fortune... Think my boat is big enough now that I'm not as worried about weather as I was so i need to figure out the rules... I wouldn't mind helping reduce the pups.... Kind of crazy if the pups are as plentiful as you say, I sure haven't run into those numbers in my ice trips up there.... however, I do know a boat opens up the use of sonar to find the schools... also know that the mac do take the top predator roll really well.. Was fishing a lake in the Winds that had mac in it as well as brookies. I caught a brookie on a fly and released it in the shallow crystal clear waters edge... As the brookie swam back towards the deeper water two mac rushed in and attacked the brookie, ended up tearing the fish in half in front of me as one mac was on each end trying to tear it away from the other fish.. Last time I was there the mac were starting to get skinny and all the chubs and such that used to be in that lake weren't visible any longer, so i think they do eat everything... Later J
Jeff, if you are fishing the Utah side of the lake you only need the same tags you need for any other lake in Utah. As for the cable seal, you by law have to stop at the port of entry at the Wyoming line and they will inspect your boat for muscles and they will install the seal and you are on your way. This doesn't cost you anything but a little time.
