MAMMOTH HOT SPRINGS, WYO. —Yellowstone National Park managers have reopened the Madison and Gibbon rivers inside the park to fishing, according to a statement released by the park’s public affairs office. The park has lifted the fishing closures on these rivers and their associated tributaries due to cooler water temperatures.
The Firehole River, being strongly influenced by geothermal features, is now open to fishing with partial restrictions. The river and its associated tributaries will be closed to fishing daily from 2 p.m. until sunrise the following day.
Visitors are advised to study the revised map for current fishing closures and consult the Fishing Regulations 2024 Booklet for more information.
Staff will continue to monitor the Firehole River and its tributaries, watch weather forecasts and reopen them to fishing when conditions allow.
