Appreciate the timeline! "Scourge", i.e. combat fishing? Last summer on Flaming Gorge a fisherman piloted his boat withing 10 feet of mine. Yeah we were catching kokes.

They don't like us "Greenies".

Actually most of the Wyo guys I've dealt with are pretty cool, but there's always a few grumpo's out there.

I never feel very welcome in Wyoming. That said, it doesn't stop me from going! It's been a decade since I've been to glendo, but we did well in early June.

I fish Glendo often. I haven't caught any huge fish, but some nice eating size eyes, and the catfish are good eating from there too. Water level fluctuates a lot through the summer. There are a lot of game and fish people there, and they are always watching for greenies. May and June are best.

A few years back, We had waited till Noon to get there on a Sunday till all the "locals" had left....
We were at Bennett Hill and just started to set up camp when a WYO plated One Ton Diesel PU pulls up, towing about a 40' 5th Wheel, with a 21' lund Tyee... The Guy opens His door and Two BIG Rottwielers jump out and head straight towards us growling and acting all aggressive... The Guy opens His window and tells Us We are in "HIS" spot..... Yeah, Right.....
I tell Him... "sorry dude, We're all set up.... We were here first".
He says He likes to park where We are so He can watch His boat when he beaches it in the afternoon....
I told Him to move two spots down, where the view was about the same...
So... He sets up just above the hill from Us and every morning He walks to His boat right through our area with His 2 Dogs who proceed to stop and SHIT about 50' from Our camp.... AND.. he returns the same route, never stopping to chat, say Hi, say whats up?... etc, etc.... He's always carrying a large bag of fish back to His 5th wheel....
The second afternoon, my Buddy had had enough....
Here he comes, beaches His boat, and here comes the Rott's...
My Bud throws an M-80 in the grass right behond the Dogs as They stop to piss.... BOOM! Those two dogs ran SO far away.... We were all laughing and hootin and hollering....
That afternoon, here comes the Wyo. Parks people.... questioning Us about the incident, which we all denied.... They check all Our coolers, fridges, etc. for fish limits....
We were all good to go... I told Them that They should check "That guy over there, up on the Hill"
Needless to say, as They approached Him, He and His Wife were scrambling and hiding plastic bags rather furiously....
They were there for a good 45 mins.... I'm sure he got nailed for illegal fish....
He was gone when We returned from the lake the next Morning... Luckily, We have One guy who remains in camp to watch our stuff, or I'm sure he woulda fk-ed up something of Ours....

You'd think folks would be more polite up there, I believe Wyoming is a carry state. Maybe the Vet plates on my truck will give me some luck. Based on the great info here I'll plan for May/June and avoid the weekend craziness. Thanks all!!!
