Fishing Restrictions Imposed in U.S. West Due to Record Heat and Drought

Fishing Restrictions Imposed in U.S. West Due to Record Heat and Drought

Wildlife officials across the U.S. West are implementing fishing restrictions as record heat and drought conditions have led to dangerously high water temperatures in rivers and streams. These conditions are particularly harmful to trout, a species that requires cool water to survive. The restrictions, which include banning fishing during certain hours, aim to reduce stress on the fish. This summer, Colorado has imposed restrictions on 19 rivers, while Montana has extended afternoon fishing restrictions to cover 1,200 miles of rivers. The measures are a response to the ongoing heat wave affecting the region, which has been exacerbated by climate change.
