Outfitters and guides-amendments.
Wyoming's HB 232 regulates commercially guided fishing operations by requiring outfitters to obtain a separate license and registration sticker for each fishing boat they operate. The bill authorizes the Game and Fish Commission to set daily limits on the number of such boats in specific river sections (like the Snake or Wind River drainages), after holding public hearings. It updates definitions to clarify that "commercially guided fishing boat" means a boat operated by an outfitter, and modifies licensing rules for outfitters and the state board of guides. The changes affect outfitters providing fishing guide services, with new rules effective July 1, 2023.
