Yellowstone park-wide closure
Yellowstone National Park extends afternoon fishing restrictions to the entire park.
Unprecedented afternoon fishing closures across the U.S. West highlight the escalating ecological toll of climate change. Montana alone has restricted 1,200 river miles, while Colorado imposed its largest-ever curtailments on nearly 636 miles of streams. These measures, once rare, are now a seasonal norm as drought and record temperatures push water to lethal levels for trout.
