mikemac1 0 Report post Posted August 7, 2020 I fished a section of the lower Big Hole last Sunday and the flows have dropped by half since then. Early morning water temps might be in the low 60s, but by noon they are hitting the 70s and the fishing really drops off. Hoot Owl closures really do help the resource as the fish don’t have anywhere else to go. By chance, the closures went into effect today, so the Hoot Owls had to stop fishing as well. Here’s one that showed in my back yard this evening waiting to ambush the local rabbit. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
