Three stream segments with crucial native trout habitat are proposed for streamflow protection in Wyoming. The Wyoming Game and Fish Department is seeking instream flow water rights for segments of Crandall Creek, Dead Indian Creek and Muddy Creek in the Clarks Fork of the Yellowstone River basin.
The State Engineer’s Office is holding a public hearing at 9 a.m. Nov. 16 at the Cody Regional Game and Fish office to share information and receive comments on the proposed water rights. The hearing will be recorded and made available for anyone unable to attend. The public hearing is a benchmark in a multi-step process to acquire instream flow water rights.
For any questions about how to participate in the virtual public hearing, details of the applications or to view the meeting recording, contact Jed Rockweiler at 307-777-6202 or jed.rockweiler@wyo.gov.
If the water rights are approved by the state engineer following the public hearing, these three stream segments will add to the 123 instream flow segments already secured for fisheries in Wyoming.
