Pitcher Brokaw Public Access Area Alert:
Sportspersons are advised that the Bureau of Land Management has initiated a timber harvest project that will involve use of the Pitcher Brokaw Public Access Area road. PAA users should exercise caution due to the presence of logging equipment and trucks in the vicinity. The logging company will be on-site until weather conditions require them to shut down in 2024, and will finish work in 2025.
This selective logging project aims to promote the growth of younger trees and enhance biodiversity by creating a variety of wildlife habitats.

Twin Buttes Reservoir Angler Survey
The Wyoming Game and Fish Department is conducting a multi-year angler survey at Twin Buttes Reservoir. The goal of the survey is to evaluate the success of stocked rainbow trout, to improve this popular fishery over time.
In 2020, Game and Fish began stocking two strains of rainbow trout into Twin Buttes Reservoir. One strain was marked by removing adipose fins at the time of stocking, allowing fish biologists to now see if one strain is surviving and being caught by anglers more than the other. If you go fishing at Twin Buttes Reservoir, you can help with this survey effort. When you are done fishing for the day, you can fill out the survey to support this research effort. Please submit a survey each time you fish at Twin Buttes, even if you do not catch any fish. Knowing if anglers are catching fish helps Game and Fish evaluate the success of this fishery.
Thank you for your help with this project!
