Low flows in Yellowstone are calling for voluntary fishing closures
Well the snow has been so bad this year that they are calling for closures on a lot of the water in the park. The water temperatures are too warm and put significant stress on the fish which catching one could prove lethal. Its too bad because late July and August are usually a great time to head up to the park for hopper fishing.
I happened to visit the park this last weekend and fish the grand canyon of the Yellowstone. The fishing was good but the water was low. Many other rivers are showing the effects of the bad snow pack. So be wary when fishing and help preserve the fish. Don’t fish during the voluntary closures or at least check the water temp and make sure the water is cool enough.
There are many rivers that are fishing well right now. The Madison, Big Horn, and Green River are just a few. Book a trip with the local outfitter today.
If you need to satisfy that fishing urge in the mountain west go find a tail water fishery and tight lines.
