The Fish Division Mission statement identifies several key issues: to provide quality fishing opportunities to the public while also improving the habitat, working with non-game species, and restoring historic populations of native fish.
The Wyoming Game and Fish Department has roots all the way back to the 1890's. This period marks a major decline in the population of wild game in the state of Wyoming due to unlimited harvesting practices used by settlers. During that decade, the positions of State Fish Warden (1890) and State Game Warden (1899) were established to protect Wyoming's wildlife from the dangers of over harvesting. These positions were dedicated to the replenishment of the wildlife in the area.
In 1921, the Game and Fish Commission was established to provide citizen oversight to the Wyoming Game and Fish Department. The Commission is made up of seven officials, appointed by the Governor, each representing a region in the state.
The Game and Fish is funded by the traditional user pays philosophy. This means that there is no general fund appropriated from the state for Game and Fish. The funding comes mainly from the annual sales of licenses to hunters and fishermen.
The Wyoming Game and Fish Department provides an adequate and flexible system of control, propagation, management and protection, and regulation of all wildlife in Wyoming.
