MISSOULA â State wildlife officials have announced fishing restrictions are going into effect on a pair of Western Montana rivers.
Montana Fish Wildlife & Parks (FWP) is advising anglers that the entire main stem of the Bitterroot River will close to fishing daily from 2 p.m. to midnight, starting Monday due to warming water temperatures and low flows.
New restrictions have also been added for the Clark Fork River from its confluence with the Flathead River upstream to Rock Creek. The rest of the Clark Fork has already been under restrictions since July 1.
