Officials order a full fishing closure on a section of Big Hole River
Heat and low water levels in Montana have resulted in state wildlife officials ordering a full fishing closure on a portion of the Big Hole River. The full closure affects an 18-mile stretch of the river from the notch bottom fishing access near twin bridges to the confluence with the Jefferson River. The rest of the Big Hole remains closed to fishing between 2 p.m. and midnight. Restrictions will remain in place until conditions improve.
