The lower Madison River from Ennis dam to the Missouri River headwaters is now on hoot owl restrictions (no fishing between 2pm and 12am) until further notice. It would be worth considering not fishing the lower at all unless you are in bear trap in the early morning. Stressing fish in high water temperatures often results in unnecessary fish kills.
