Cooler weather and some rain led Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks on Tuesday to rescind fishing restrictions on the North Fork Flathead River in late July and loosen some of the restrictions that went into place on the Big Hole River late last week.

Starting Wednesday, the “hoot-owl restrictions” on the North Fork Flathead River will be lifted. The restrictions, which close fishing from 2 p.m. to midnight, had been in place since July 24 and were the first-ever hoot-owl restrictions ordered in the Flathead drainage.
