2020 FISH SQUEEZING EXTRAVAGANZA!!
Headed north for a central WY solo mission. Sure felt good to get out, sleep under the stars, and squeeze a couple. Gravel rig makes a nice shuttle vehicle https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...fca197b587.jpg

2020 FISH SQUEEZING EXTRAVAGANZA!!
Non-resident reservations are being purged from the WYSP system. Luau spot has been rescinded by the overlords.
State Parks To Open Camping to Residents May 15 - Wyoming State Parks will partially reopen to camping for Wyoming residents beginning May 15. State Parks has remained open to day-use recreation but closed to camping due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
"The busy camping season unofficially starts Memorial Day weekend; however, we are excited to announce that we have been working with the Governor’s office and the State Health Officer to get Wyoming residents camping in just over two weeks," said Darin Westby, Director of Wyoming State Parks & Cultural Resources. The decision to reopen out-of-state visitor camping will be continually reassessed by State Park management, and a future plan will be submitted to the Governor and State Health Officer as camping begins to open in surrounding states.
To ensure the safety of our visitors and staff, and in an effort to open parks to camping as quickly as possible, all camping will now require reservations. Not all campsites will be available due to designed social distancing. This will also ensure that only in-state residents can make reservations, provide instant communication through information on the reservation, and reduce cash handling by staff. The reservation system also decreases the stress of not knowing if you have a campsite to stay in before you leave your home.
Sites will not be available on a first-come, first-served basis. Visitors can still secure a spot without a prior reservation but must do so through the reservation system upon arrival. For the safety of our staff and visitors, fee booths will remain closed and fee compliance and reservations will be verified by law enforcement.
Additionally, according to the approved plan, only single-unit campsites will be made available. Per Wyoming State Park Rules on camping units and COVID-19 guidance, no more than 10 persons per site will be allowed.

Nice work MT crew. Drove 500miles on 90w yesterday. From Billings to Three Forks I saw at least 60 drift boats and rafts on the road. FAS were firing too. Hope the afternoon floats were fruitful!

If your governor doesn’t lift the 14 day mandatory quarantine for non-essential humans then you are correct. Guides can’t fill boats with no out of state guests. The reports are begging for clients. It’s awful. Main St was DEAD for noon on Sunday in May. Jam! had a crowd and a few other restaurants had patrons. Retail shops were dead.

Billing’s appeared to have the start of night life downtown for the restless natives while travelers moving all earthly possessions were just looking for restaurants to feed their families. Americans doing their best to keep the economy going. Truck drivers are all over the road coasting between lanes. No doubt they are truly exhausted and the lack of eating establishments to sit down in and enjoy a meal and fellowship out of their cab is taking their toll. Good luck trying to find a place to take a piss and not be looked at like a leper.

Enjoy the quieter waters and may we all become essential to the survival of one another...
End thread drift. No fish were harmed in this road trip. No gear was traveled with either. Legs were stretched and an enlightening conversation was had with a rancher. He claimed their were fish and dropped some other terms while pointing out some landmarks. I thanked him for the maintained access. Attachment 328980Attachment 328978

I missed a photo on one...as I was using the forceps to remove the hook, I could see a tail down his throat...greedy little dude
[ETA]I guess the tail was fanned in that first pic in the mouth. Here is a cleaner look (but the tail is pointed in this one)
