COVID 19 has drawn thousands of new families to Montana over the course of the pandemic for the chance to enjoy the privilege of living in Big Sky Country.
On Saturday, Western Montana will be hit with some extra fishing restrictions because of the warm weather.
"What we are looking at is what are called 'hoot owl' fishing restrictions on just the upper Clark Fork River and Silver Bow Creek," said FWP Public Information Officer Vivaca Crowser explains...
Fishing in Montana is a $900 million dollar industry, but a portion of that total may be in jeopardy due to a mysterious disease that has killed thousands of fish in one of the state's premiere fishing areas.
