A Conservation Stamp (about $21.50, valid multiple years) is also required. Wyoming residents 65 and older buy a discounted licence; under-14 fish free with a licensed adult.

Public access
Lakes and reservoirs here are confirmed public via an WGFD Fishing Access listing; river access is on public land, state Wildlife Areas and department easements
The general Wyoming trout creel is 6 (only 1 over 20 inches), but many waters carry reduced limits, slot limits, artificial-only or catch-and-release rules — cutthroat-conservation streams, Blue Ribbon water and the tailwaters especially; always check the current Wyoming Fishing Regulations
