An 18-mile section of the Big Hole River was fully closed to fishing due to low flows below 100 cubic feet per second. The affected stretch of the river was from the Tony Schoonen Fishing Access Site, known as Notch Bottom, to the confluence with the Jefferson River. The rest of the Big Hole upstream of Tony Schoonen Fishing Access Site was still under hoot-owl restrictions, prohibiting fishing each day between 2 p.m. and midnight.
