Warm water closes Yellowstone rivers to fishing

A week after an unrelenting heat wave forced Montana to put restrictions on three rivers, Yellowstone Park officials have announced they're closing fishing on portions of three rivers because of unusually warm water temperatures.

Yellowstone officials say the forecast calls for more warm weather and that could cause additional areas to be closed to fishing.

I wish other states would adopt this policy!

Most of nova scotia and Newfoundland are closed for salmon angling right now because of a lack of water and high water temperatures

Amen, Suckit. You're so right. The Truckee River is a spillway (not bottom draw) from Tahoe and the water is very shallow in Tahoe City before it becomes the River and I've personally taken temps of 70 degrees in the middle of a summer day.
