Fish Division Mission Statement:

As stewards of Wyoming's aquatic resources, we are committed to conservation and enhancement of all aquatic wildlife and their habitats for future generations through scientific resource management and informed public participation.  We will use an integrated program of protection, regulation, propagation, restoration and control to provide diverse, quality fisheries resources and angling opportunities.  Our efforts will balance the productive capacity of habitats with public desires.

Along with signaling our commitment to our constituents, this statement identifies several key issues for the Fish Division.  We are dedicated to providing quality fishing opportunities to the public, while also improving the habitat, working with non-game species, and restoring historic populations of native fish.  This requires a diverse group of people, with a wide range of skills.    We hope to use this web page to share with you-the public-who we are, what we're doing, and provide you with the resources to keep you up to date not only on what we're doing, but also on issues that are important, like whirling disease, and aquatic nuisance species.  Links to other web sites are coming soon, along with information on fishery careers, fishing, native fish, angling opportunities, and what's on the horizon.  Thanks for stopping in!
