BigDan,

You have a right to be concerned about Wyoming's trespass laws when it comes to fishing its rivers. On those private stretches of water you can't use an anchor or you will be trespassing, also, you can't row into shore and tie up to a bush, or you will be trespassing. You can only float on through fishing, but not touch anything.

They have markers along the rivers to let you know if you are in public waters or private waters but they can be easy to miss if you are busy with a fish or looking elsewhere. It can really be a pain.

Personally, I use guided drift boat trips. But, if you are handy with a drift boat then rent one and be very familiar with all of the trespassing laws before you go out and fish. At least with a drift boat you can row back up in many places or slow the boat down a bit for your brother to get in an extra cast or two.

Good luck and enjoy the waters. They have some great fishing in Wyoming.
