Yellowstone Montana Fishing Rules Update | Boise News

Yellowstone’s fishing restrictions are lifting as cooler temps return, ending the “hoot-owl” rule on most rivers—except the Madison, Firehole, and Gibbon (downstream from Norris Campground), which remain closed due to geothermal warmth. Montana’s fish agencies are also easing rules on rivers like the Bitterroot and Blackfoot, but the Big Hole faces new full closures starting August 13th due to dangerously low flows. Anglers: fish smart—target cooler hours, release quickly, and handle fish gently to protect these fragile ecosystems.
