Colorado River officials propose tracking conserved water
Water managers in the upper Colorado River basin took another step toward a more formal water conservation program.
(Daily Montanan) Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks has issued hoot-owl fishing restrictions on the Yellowstone River from the U.S. Highway 89 Bridge Fishing Access Site east of Livingston to the U.S. Highway 212 bridge in Laurel due to high water temperatures and low flows. The restrictions went into effect at 2:00 p.m., Saturday. Hoot-owl restrictions prohibit all fishing from 2:00 p.m. to midnight each day. The restriction will stay in effect until conditions improve.
