Chapter 71 Summary: The Wyoming Game and Fish Commission is proposing a new regulation, effective January 1, 2026, to govern commercially guided fishing boats and trailers, as directed by the Wyoming Legislature earlier this year. This regulation will establish registration requirements, annual fees, and the issuance of registration stickers. It also details record-keeping requirements for boat owners and outlines reasons for registration revocation.
