The state of Wyoming is now requiring all boats to have a sticker on it indicating you have been educated on preventing aquatic invasive species from entering the State of Wyoming. It is very easy to get the stickers. Simply go to the Wyoming Game and Fish Website at
http://gf.state.wy.us/fish/AIS/index.asp and buy your stickers. They will mail them out to you very quickly. The stickers are $5 for non-motorized boats and $10 for motorized boats. The money goes to staffing check stations around the state where rangers will inspect boats and clean any boats that need it.
Zebra mussels, Didymo, and New Zealand Mud Snails are just a few of the species found in the waters of Colorado and Utah that we are trying very hard to keep out of Wyoming. "Clean, Inspect, Dry" is the catch-phrase the game and fish department wants people to remember and apply to boats. Any time you are moving your boat from one watershed to another, please Clean your boat. Inspect it for mud, water, and algae. And allow your boat to Dry thoroughly.
Enjoy,
