The Flaming Gorge Fishery is a treasure to many locals and the fact that it is struggling in
recent years has become a major concern to local anglers and stakeholders. An update on
the Flaming Gorge Fishery is on the agenda for a wildlife meeting next month in Vernal
and all concerned are invited. Biologists will share the latest population trends, results
from recently conducted research, and ongoing management work related to the wide
array of fish found in the reservoir. The event will include a 30 to 40 minute presentation
about the fishery, followed by a question-and-answer session for those in attendance.
Fisheries biologists from the Wyoming Game and Fish Department and the Utah Division
of Wildlife Resources will also share work plans for 2024. The public meeting is taking
place on February 1st at 6pm at the DWR Vernal Office. Anglers and other community
members interested in the status of the Flaming Gorge fishery are encouraged to attend.
