A stretch of the upper Big Hole River was closed to all fishing effective Sept. 8, due to streamflows dropping below 20 cubic feet per second. Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks announced that the Big Hole River from Saginaw Bridge on Skinner Meadows Road to the mouth of the North Fork of the river was completely closed to fishing. Regardless of improvements to flows, the upper Big Hole River will reopen to angling no later than Oct. 31.
