Green River - The Wyoming Game and Fish Department’s Green River region will host a public open house in Evanston to discuss the Flaming Gorge fishery. Another open house hosted in Green River in early October was well attended, with over 50 members of the public receiving an update on the fishery at Flaming Gorge. This open house is a second opportunity for anglers to see the Flaming Gorge fishery presentation and talk to the fisheries biologist about Flaming Gorge. The meeting will be held at the Beeman-Cashin building at 35 10th St. in Evanston, WY, on Nov. 15 at 6 p.m.
Over the past few years, numerous research projects have been completed on kokanee salmon and lake trout, including an eight-month-long creel survey and population estimate of lake trout under 28 inches. Both projects were completed in cooperation with the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources.
The meeting will begin with a presentation covering past and present data to provide anglers with an understanding of the current status of the sport fisheries in Flaming Gorge Reservoir. The presentation will also include a section highlighting possible management options moving forward. Department fisheries biologists will be available to answer questions during and after the presentation. Anglers who fish Flaming Gorge are encouraged to attend.
