Night fishing: No statewide night-fishing closure in Wyoming; some waters have seasonal closures (spring spawning, winter) and the cutthroat-conservation and trophy waters post their own rules — check the current Wyoming Fishing Regulations.
Boats: The big reservoirs (Flaming Gorge, Boysen, Seminoe, Pathfinder, Glendo, Buffalo Bill, Keyhole) take trailered boats via a state-park or BLM ramp; mountain lakes are hike-in or car-top and rivers are drift-boat, raft or wade. All boats need an AIS decal and inspection.
Bank & bivvy camping: Wyoming is roughly half federal land — dispersed camping is allowed on most BLM and Forest Service ground along these waters, plus developed Forest Service, BLM and state-park campgrounds on nearly every reservoir.
Tackle: 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. Check the current Wyoming Fishing Regulations.
Anyone 14 or older needs a Wyoming fishing licence — the resident annual is about $27, the non-resident annual about $102 (Wyoming's non-resident fee is one of the highest), with non-resident daily (~$14) and 5-day options. 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. Buy from Wyoming Game and Fish at wgfd.wyo.gov. A Wyoming fishing licence plus a Conservation Stamp covers this water — it is on WGFD's Fishing Guide. Wyoming grants no public right to a private streambed: where a stream crosses private land, fish from public land, a WGFD walk-in or Public Access Area, or a bridge right-of-way.
