Most people think of the Madison River as a float trip and a cooler of drinks — not a place where you'd need to watch the bank on the way out of the water.

Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks is advising anglers that portions of the Big Hole, Beaverhead, Clark Fork, Madison, Ruby and Sun rivers, as well as the Jefferson River and Silver Bow Creek in their entirety, will be closed to all fishing daily from 2 p.m. to midnight, effective at 2 p.m. on Wednesday, July 10. The restrictions will stay in effect until conditions improve.

Exciting news for anglers! Yellowstone National Park expands year-round fishing in two locations.
