FWP reminds public of upcoming fishing closures.

(Bozeman – Keller Sherman) Annual fishing closures began on October 1st for sections of the Big Hole, Ruby, and Beaverhead rivers to protect trout during spawning seasons.

The Montana Fish and Wildlife Commission adopted new regulations last year in response to struggling fish populations in the three years. These restrictions limit fall and spring angling during trout spawning season in some stretches of the rivers.
