Voluntary Fishing Closure

Voluntary fishing restrictions are in effect on the Green River through Seedskadee National Wildlife Refuge when water temperatures reach 70°F or higher. During these periods, the Wyoming Game and Fish Department requests that anglers stop catch-and-release fishing from noon until sunrise to reduce stress on trout.

Warm water contains less dissolved oxygen, making it more difficult for trout to recover after being caught. The combination of elevated water temperatures and the stress of catch-and-release fishing can significantly increase the likelihood of mortality, even when fish are released.

Feel free to contact the Refuge office or the WGFD 307-777-4600 with questions.

Thank you for your cooperation to help protect our fishery!

Happy Earth Month, Wyoming!

Ready to lead the way? We’re kicking off our "30 Days of Stewardship" challenge, and we want YOU to be part of the team. Conservation isn't just about massive projects: it’s about the small wins we stack up every time we hit the water.

For the next 30 days, we’re challenging every angler to pick up one daily habit to protect our legendary coldwater fisheries.

Not sure where to start? Try these:
✅ Pack out more than you pack in (pick up that stray tippet!)
✅ Clean, Drain, and Dry your gear every single time.
✅ Swap out lead weights for non-toxic alternatives.
✅ Stay on designated trails to protect sensitive riverbanks.

Every piece of trash removed and every invasive species stopped makes a difference for the future of fly fishing in Wyoming.

Are you in? Drop a "🐟" in the comments if you’re joining the challenge! Let’s keep our streams pristine, one small win at a time.
