   UPPER BIG HOLE RIVER FISHING CLOSURE LIFTED 
The fishing closure on the Upper Big Hole River from Rock Creek Road near Wisdom to the mouth of the North Fork will lift on Saturday, Oct. 14 at 12:01 a.m.
Average daily flows measured at the U.S. Geological Survey gauging station at Wisdom have been at or near 65 cubic feet per second for seven consecutive days, exceeding the criteria of 40 cfs set in the Big Hole Drought Management Plan for reopening the river to angling.
The Upper Big Hole River includes important habitat for the Big Hole Arctic grayling population, the last remaining native population of fluvial or river-dwelling Arctic grayling in the lower-48 states. Fishing was closed Aug. 10 due to low stream flows and the threat posed to Arctic grayling.
