]hey guys i live in wyoming and want to let you guys know a few things about wyoming. as for ATV's as a resident we have to buy a $15.00 user stamp just the same as you guys do if you are riding in wyoming plus i also have my 4 wheeler liscensed with a motor cycle plate like the one on a car or motorcycle. when i go into utah i have had the state park officials and dwr people check to see if my 4 wheeler is liscensed before i can use it on the lake. as for the gorge if you are fishing wyoming then you have to buy a stamp to fish that side of the lake just as i have to buy one to fish the utah side of the gorge or buy a nonresident yearly liscense like i do so i can fish your many great lakes with lots of different fish species that are'nt as close to fish in wyo. as they are for us to go to utah. I don't think that changing the laws for when out of state fishermen can go fishing would be a good idea as i see lot of people from utah, idaho, colorado and many other states fishing our near by lakes. i don't think that we need to be worrying what state everyone is from as long as everyone buys a fishing liscense, goes buy the laws and gets along. As for some people being mad about how much money they are spending on gas, food, motels and other things when they come to wyoming they should be sit and think about us coming down for some fishing adventures in utah. we spend $70.00 for a fishing liscense and another $15.00 for a second pole permit that is good on only certain lakes in the state, we have to pay entrance fees at nearly all the lakes we go to, and we also buy lots of gas, food, motels, and lets don't forget about all the money that we spend at sportsmen warehouse, hooked fishing tackle and many other sporting goods stores while we are down there as we don't have many good places to buy fishing tackle where we are at. when you come to wyoming just think all the lakes and rivers that you are fishing you don't have to buy a second pole permit and alot of the lakes and rivers don't have pay booths like utah does. i don't mind paying to fish in utah as the facilities are all set up nice and clean. these are just some of the things that i see and are my opinion and i'm not wanting to make any ememies but more friends and have a good time fishing weather i'm fishing in utah or wyoming. i have talked and fished with many nice people in utah and i'm looking forward to going fishing down there soon. good luck fishing trfishin
