Wyoming Fishing Licenses

• As of the 2010-2011 fishing season in Wyoming, walleye fishing does not require a license on June 5 in 2010 and June 4 in 2011. On all other days, all anglers over the age of 14 must obtain a fishing license, which is available from the Wyoming Game and Fish Department website.
  
  

Statewide Daily Limits and Size Restrictions

• Walleye are limited to six per day statewide, but there are no minimum or maximum size restrictions, as of the 2010-2011 Wyoming fishing season.
  
  

Location-Specific Restrictions

• According to the Wyoming Fishing Regulations Guide for the 2010-2011 season, any walleye caught in Wind, Big Horn and Tongue River drainage areas, or the Glendo Reservoir must remain intact until the angler leaves the lake, although gills and entrails may be removed. Walleye caught in Big Horn Lake and Beaver Reservoir have respective possession limits of five and three per day, while the possession limit is unlimited for walleye caught in Buffalo Bill Reservoir, with the exception of the South Fork and Diamond Creek Dike Ponds, and Wyoming's Area Four, which includes the Green, Little Snake and Bear River and the Great Divide Basin Drainage. In Glendo Reservoir, walleye must be a minimum of 15 inches and released if under that.
  
  

Underwater Spear Gun Fishing Regulations

• Walleye caught by underwater spear gun are limited to two per day, and can only be caught if the diver is completely submerged, has a current fishing license and uses a spear gun with a lanyard maximum of 20 feet. Divers must display a diving flag while spearfishing, and must keep at least 100 feet away from swimming and water-skiing areas.
  
  

Consumption

• When fishing for walleye in Big Horn, Boysen, Seminoe and Pathfinder Reservoirs, caution should be taken when consuming walleye, as fish from these areas have been found to contain high levels of mercury.
  
  

Catching Walleye

• Walleye prefer deep lakes that have sandy, rocky or gravel floors and cold water temperatures of 30 to 60 degrees. Areas with the highest populations of walleye in Wyoming include Alcova, Glendo, Seminoe, Pathfinder, Keyhole, Guernsey, Grayrocks and Boysen Reservoir, as well as Bighorn and Ocean Lake.
