Today, we pause to remember and honor the lives lost on September 11, 2001. 🇺🇸

We remember the victims, the families whose lives were forever changed, and the incredible courage shown by first responders and everyday Americans in the face of unimaginable tragedy.

At Trout On The Fly, we have tremendous pride, gratitude, and respect for our first responders—the men and women who answer the call every day to protect and serve their communities. On this day especially, we honor the bravery and selflessness of those who ran toward danger to help others.

May we never forget the lives lost, the sacrifices made, and the strength and unity our country showed in the days that followed.
We remember. We honor. We will never forget. 🇺🇸

Daily fishing restrictions, commonly known as hoot-owl restrictions, have been lifted for portions of the Madison and Beaverhead rivers due to cooling water temperatures.

A hoot-owl restriction has been lifted for the Beaverhead River from Selway Bridge Fishing Access Site to the confluence with the Big Hole River. A hoot-owl restriction has also been lifted for the Madison River from the Warm Springs Boat Launch to the confluence with the Jefferson River.

These restrictions were implemented because of warm water temperatures. Hoot-owl restrictions prohibit fishing from 2 p.m. to midnight each day to prevent excessive fish mortality from angling when water temperatures are warm. Full closures prohibit angling for the entire day.

Drought-related fishing closures remain in effect for portions of the Beaverhead and Big Hole rivers. To view current fishing restrictions and closures statewide, visit https://fwp.mt.gov/news/current-closures-restrictions/waterbody-closures

Happy Labor Day from Trout On The Fly! 🇺🇸🎣

Today, we’re celebrating the hard work that keeps our communities moving—and we’re especially grateful for our incredible guides and team who put so much into creating memorable days on the water for our guests.

We’re also thankful for every angler who chooses to spend their hard-earned time off exploring Montana’s rivers, lakes, and wild places with us.

Here’s to a well-earned day outside, time spent with good people, and maybe a trout or two along the way.

Happy Labor Day from all of us at Trout On The Fly!

There’s nothing better than welcoming longtime clients back to the river! 🎣

Joe and Janice recently wrapped up two days fishing the Madison River with our owner and guide Nate.

We’re incredibly grateful for the clients who choose to fish with Trout On The Fly year after year. Getting to reconnect, spend more time on the water together, and add a few more Montana memories to the collection is what it’s all about.

Thanks for another great trip, Joe and Janice. We’re already looking forward to the next one!

First time fly fishing? Sam jumped right into the action! 🎣

First-timer Sam joined our owner and guide Nate on the Madison River this past week and got a taste of what makes fly fishing in Montana so special.

You don’t need years of experience to enjoy a day on the water. Our guides love introducing new anglers to the sport, helping them learn the ropes, and—hopefully—getting them hooked on fly fishing from day one.

Great job, Sam! We hope this was the first of many days with a fly rod in hand.

UPDATE: Daily fishing restrictions, commonly known as hoot-owl restrictions, have been lifted for several rivers in southwestern Montana with cooling water temperatures.

Restrictions have been removed for the Gallatin, Jefferson, Ruby and Shields rivers. The following updates have been made for the Madison River:

- The restriction immediately upstream of Ennis Reservoir and the closure downstream of the reservoir have been removed.
- A hoot-owl restriction remains in effect upstream of Hebgen Reservoir to the boundary of Yellowstone National Park.
- A hoot-owl restriction remains in effect from the Bureau of Land Management’s Warm Springs boat launch to the confluence with the Jefferson River.

Drought-related fishing closures and restrictions also remain in effect for the Beaverhead and Big Hole rivers.

These restrictions were implemented because of warm water temperatures. Hoot-owl restrictions prohibit fishing from 2 p.m. to midnight each day to prevent excessive fish mortality from angling when water temperatures are warm. Full closures prohibit angling for the entire day.

Water conservation efforts continue to be important to Montana’s fisheries. Staff with Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks are working with irrigators and other partners to improve flows and other instream conditions where possible.

Anglers can reduce stress on fish at all times of the year by getting the fish to the net or in hand quickly, keeping them in the water, and reviving them before releasing them back into the river.

(News Release Update) Yellowstone lifts full closures for Firehole, Madison and Gibbon rivers. Partial restrictions remain in effect from 2 p.m. to sunrise the following day.

Effective Friday, Aug. 28, anglers can fish the Firehole, Madison and Gibbon (downstream of Norris Campground) rivers and all associated tributaries from sunrise until 2 p.m. each day. Cooling weather and water temperatures, as well as precipitation in the current weather forecast, allow for the previous full closures to be lifted.

The full closures were implemented on July 15 because low water flows and high water temperatures exceeding 68 degrees Fahrenheit (20 degrees Celsius) can be lethal to fish. Water temperatures have cooled at night, allowing for fishing for part of the day. Anglers can fish on most other park rivers, streams and lakes daily from sunrise to sunset as specified in the 2026 Fishing Regulations booklet.

Staff will continue to monitor the water temperatures. Temporary restrictions may be lifted, or additional closures may be put in place, depending on condition assessments.

A banner day on the Gallatin! 🎣

Our guide Chandler Hill spent the day with Shelby and Doug fishing the Gallatin River inside Yellowstone National Park, and it was one of those days that reminds us just how special fishing in Yellowstone can be.

Great fishing, great company, and an incredible setting—hard to ask for much more than that!

Thanks for spending the day with Trout On The Fly, Shelby and Doug!
