I haven't fished the Wyoming side in several years because of the additional costs. To get my boat and family legal costs over $200. It's just not worth it.
AMEN, ON THE DIFFERENCE IN COSTS! THAT IS THE REASON I QUIT FISHING THE WYOMING SIDE. WITH A RECIPROCAL STAMP OF $30 AND ANOTHER $30 FOR A WYOMING QUAGGA STICKER IT IS JUST NOT WORTH ANOTHER $90 FOR ME AND MY WIFE TO CATCH A COUPLE LIMITS OF KOKES/YEAR. I CAN CATCH SOME DECENT KOKES ON THE UTAH SIDE (MAYBE A LITTLE BIT SMALLER IN SIZE) AND I'M HAPPY WITH THAT. I think ALL the fish and game departments are overpricing out-of-state licenses and they are seeing buyer resistance kick in. I used to also fish and hunt Idaho and quit buying their out-of-state licenses for the same reason (COST). They priced themselves out of my range.
