Yellowstone National Park, July 31st, 2024

High summer temperatures are now impacting Yellowstone Park streams. Because water temperatures have been measured at 68 Deg. F. or greater in more park streams, further “hoot owl” type closures have been applied. Thus fishing is prohibited from 2 PM – midnight on the Snake River from the South Entrance upstream to Forest Creek, the Gardner River from Osprey Falls downstream to the north boundary, and the Yellowstone River from Tower  Junction downstream to the Park north boundary.  These restrictions do not apply to lakes open to fishing in the Park.
