JACKSON (WNE) — It’s once again OK to fish Yellowstone’s rivers and streams in the afternoon and evening and some fire restrictions have been lifted.

On Friday, leaders of the national park rescinded a 2 p.m. fishing closure they had ordered July 24 in response to high water temperatures and unprecedented low stream flows in rivers and streams. Conditions at the time were stressful and even fatal for trout, but now they’re better, the National Park Service said in a release.

“Water temperatures are now well below thermal thresholds for trout, and flows are returning to long-term averages,” the release said.

Even though anglers can resume fishing from sunrise to sunset, Yellowstone asked for some consideration.

“Do not play hooked trout to exhaustion,” the press release said. “Gently handle and release them quickly after they have revived. Your cooperation will protect the park fisheries and may preclude the need to prohibit fishing again this season should conditions worsen in rivers and creeks.”

Reflecting the cooler, wetter conditions, Yellowstone officials also announced Monday that the fire danger in the park has been lowered from “very high” to “high.” After receiving 2 inches of rain last week, park leaders lifted Stage 1 fire restrictions, which had been in place since July 1.

“Campfires are allowed within established fire rings in campgrounds and some backcountry campsites,” the Park Service said, noting that campfires still must be attended and cold to the touch before abandoning.

“Visitors are reminded that negligently starting a wildfire may result in fines and/or imprisonment,” the release said.

Park officials will evaluate the need for restrictions for the remainder of the fire season.

There are no fires currently burning in Yellowstone.
