Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks issued the full fishing closures on the Clark Fork where several tributaries meet the river in Missoula and to its northwest: Within 100-yard radiuses from where Rattlesnake Creek, the St. Regis River, Cedar Creek and Fish Creek meet the river.
Fishing organizations and guides recommend that, even on rivers without restrictions, anglers limit their fishing to early morning to keep Montana’s trout populations strong and healthy.
The first full fishing closures of the year in Montana went into effect Wednesday on stretches of the Madison River and the Clark Fork River because of warming waters, while even more afternoon and evening restrictions were added on portions of other popular rivers for anglers.
