Fishing Closure Lifted On The Thompson River

Print

Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks has acted to lift the fishing closure on the Thompson River.   The entire Thompson River is reopened to all angling effective at 12:01 a.m. on Saturday, September 1, 2007.   

The Thompson River received a Time-Of-Day closure on July 9, 2007 due to high water temperatures. Water temperatures have now been below the reopening criteria (70 o F for at least 3 days) since August 23rd.   Longer and cooler nights make it unlikely that water temperatures will again exceed closure criteria.
