Summary
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. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
