First-ever hoot owl fishing restrictions ordered for part of Flathead River basin
Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks is putting hoot-owl fishing restrictions in place starting Wednesday on the North Fork Flathead River – the first time such restrictions have ever been put in place in the Flathead River drainage.
The restrictions went into effect at 2 p.m. Wednesday, July 24 and prohibit people from fishing between 2 p.m. and midnight each day until they are lifted.
The new restriction will be on both sides of the North Fork from the U.S.-Canadian border to its confluence with the Middle Fork Flathead River near Blankenship Bridge.
