Lower flows and forecasted warmer water temperatures prompted a full fishing closure on the entire Beaverhead River from its confluence with the Big Hole River to Clark Canyon Dam south of Dillon. The closure took effect just after midnight on Sept. 1 and will remain in effect until water temperatures cool, and officials find that the fish are less stressed.
