Fishing Closures Save Trout in Heatwave | Bozeman News
Description
Montana and Yellowstone are shutting down fishing on nearly 30 rivers to save trout from deadly heat — many now closed after 2 p.m. as water warms past 73°F, starving fish of oxygen. After a snow-poor winter and recent storms that didn’t cut it, officials are enforcing “hoot-owl” bans to protect bull trout and cutthroat. Anglers are urged to step back while crews monitor conditions — restrictions shift daily based on weather. The goal? Keep these ecosystems alive for future generations, even if it means sacrificing a day on the river.
