FISHING & HUNTING Licenses
Fishing & Hunting Licenses
Wyoming is blessed with great hunting and fishing opportunities from border to border. Below is the fee listing for those out experiencing all that Wyoming offers in terms of fishing and hunting. Enjoy the beautiful outdoors of this incredible state and remember to follow the rules and regulations so that future generations may enjoy them as well! Please remember, private lands in Wyoming need to have permission secured prior to entering, even if the lands are not posted – it is the responsibility of the sportsperson to know their respective location. Stream bottoms in Wyoming are private property to the middle of the river if adjacent to private lands. Respect private lands as this action preserves private property access options for people in the state of Wyoming. Fees, regulations and property ownership may change at any time so please make sure to confirm these before heading into the field.

Wyoming Boating Regulations - Aquatic Invasive Species (AIS)
The threat to Wyoming’s waterways and lakes is real and as a result, the Wyoming Game and Fish is taking the threat seriously. There are now regulations in place to protect these water and sporting resources that all persons owning or using watercraft should be aware of. Any watercraft transported into Wyoming from March 1 through November 30 must undergo a MANDATORY INSPECTION by an authorized inspector prior to launching into water. Furthermore, any watercraft that has been in a water known to be infested or occupied with Zebra/Quagga Mussels within the last 30 days is required to undergo a MANDATORY INSPECTION by an authorized inspector prior to launching during all months of the year. All watercraft must stop at any open watercraft check station on their route of travel, even if not intending to launch in Wyoming. AIS decals can be purchased at any Wyoming Game and Fish office, at any licensed Wyoming Game and Fishing License Selling Agent or online at the Wyoming Game and Fish website located here: https://wgfd.wyo.gov/Apply-or-Buy
All watercraft using Wyoming waters are required to display an Aquatic Invasive Species decal.

Non-Resident AIS Decals
Does your watercraft need an Aquatic Invasive Species Decal (AIS) Decal? Click this link to determine if your watercraft needs a decal: https://wgfd.wyo.gov/WGFD/media/content/PDF/Fishing/AIS_DECALREQUIREMENT.pdf
STOP THE SPREAD by following these three easy steps after you boat:
1. DRAIN all water from your boat including the motor, bilge, live well, and ballast areas.
2. CLEAN all mud, plants and debris from your boat. The plants can be invasive and mud and plants can also harbor other Aquatic Invasive Species.
3. DRY your boat well before using it in another water. We recommend drying it for at least 5 days in the hot summer, 18 days in the spring or fall, or 3 days in the winter when temperatures are freezing.
