Any Wyoming angler will say that patience and technique are among the keys to catching fish. But most wouldn’t spend more than a few hours at a spot with bad prospects.

So, what would they say about someone who spent more than 500 hours at the same spot with all to show for it was a handful of beyond rotted fish?

Most anglers would call it insanity. Casper resident Dwaine Wagoner calls it “something to do.”

Wagoner isn’t a traditional angler. He’s one of the volunteer fossil preparators at the Tate Geological Museum at Casper College.
