Fishing a big business in Wyoming

The Wyoming Game and Fish Department actively promotes fishing and hunting in Wyoming. Fishing license sales bring in some $25 million from both resident and non-resident anglers.

"The number of fishing licenses sold this last year is the highest since 1991," said Renny McKay, public affairs chief for Game and Fish.

In Natrona County, 13,589 residents purchased fishing licenses last year. "We don’t know how many non-resident licenses were for use in specific counties, since a person could buy a license online in New York while boarding the plane for Wyoming."

The agency sold 99,871 fishing licenses to residents last year and 123,127 to non-residents.
