Boating season in Wyoming is winding down and so are the Wyoming Game and Fish Department aquatic invasive species check stations. Check stations throughout the state will start to close or reduce their hours beginning this month. However, it is still required that any watercraft transported into Wyoming through November 30 to undergo a mandatory inspection prior to launching.
Josh Leonard, Game and Fish AIS coordinator said that boaters who need to get their watercraft inspected between now and the end of November can stop by a Game and Fish office or any private certified inspector.
Boaters planning trips can check inspection hours on their routes. Game and Fish also has a listing of private inspectors who may operate outside of normal hours or by appointment.
Leonard said that keeping aquatic invasive species from spreading to and within Wyoming is a priority for Game and Fish. For more information on what all water users can do to prevent the spread of AIS and the state requirements for boaters, visit the AIS webpage.
