Hunting and Fishing Regulations

Waterfowl, mule deer, and ring-necked pheasant hunting are permitted at the Refuge during appropriate hunting seasons. Leota Bottom provides hunting opportunities for all three species, and Wyasket and Johnson Bottoms are open for pheasant and deer hunting. A separate leaflet describing Refuge hunting regulations is available at the Refuge Headquarters. Hunters must also follow Utah hunting regulations.

Fishing is allowed along the river only. Anglers can cast for channel catfish, one of the most popular fish in the Green River. Federally-protected endangered fish also live in the river and must be carefully released if caught. Utah regulations apply to anglers.
