Cheyenne - This month the Wyoming Game and Fish Department’s podcast “Get Outside!” discusses how biologists address and respond to illegal fish introductions. These illegal introductions can be highly damaging to the immediate and surrounding ecosystems, expensive to fix, and often fail to achieve the results those who illegally stocked the fish had hoped for. 
 
Listen to 'Get Outside' —  the Game and Fish podcast — with Ray Hageman to learn more about where illegal introductions have occurred in Wyoming and the negative impacts on the surrounding fisheries.
