Episode Details

Yellowstone’s hottest rivers are going cold turkey—literally. Starting today, Madison, Firehole, and Gibbon rivers are off-limits to fishing from 2 PM until sunrise as water temps soar to 68°F and air temps hit near 90°F, putting native trout at risk. Anglers get a morning window to fish before the heat kicks in, with strict rules: reel fast, handle gently, and release quickly. Park officials are monitoring temps closely and may extend or adjust closures until conditions cool. While these popular spots are temporarily shut down, Yellowstone Lake remains open sunrise to sunset. It’s a tough sacrifice for fishermen, but a necessary one to protect the trout during this brutal heatwave.
