Visitors heading to Yellowstone National Park<\/a> this summer will find some of the park’s best-known fishing rivers closed due to extreme water temperatures.<\/p>\n

In a July 15 announcement, National Park Service (NPS) officials from Yellowstone said the Madison, Firehole and Gibbon rivers would be temporarily closed to fishing until further notice.<\/p>\n

The affected rivers are all located on Yellowstone’s west and northwest sides, near some of the park’s busiest attractions, and the Firehole River flows through the Old Faithful area.<\/p>\n

The closures are in effect 24 hours a day. Officials blamed unusually warm water temperatures, which can be lethal to Yellowstone’s famed trout<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“In recent days, peak water temperatures have ranged from 80 to 86 degrees Fahrenheit during the day,” the notice said.<\/p>\n

“Coupled with high air temperatures, these conditions are lethal to trout, and there have been reports of dead fish in the Firehole River.”<\/p>\n

Officials added there are currently no heat-related<\/a> fishing restrictions on other lakes, rivers or streams in the park.<\/p>\n

The temporary closures will “protect the park’s native and wild trout fisheries and will remain in effect until conditions improve,” according to the NPS.<\/p>\n

Trout struggle to survive in exceptionally warm water because their bodies warm along with their surroundings, said Steven J. Cooke, a biology professor at Carleton University in Canada.<\/p>\n

“Fish are ectotherms, which means that their body temperature is the same as the water temperature,” Cooke told Fox News Digital.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“At high temperatures, trout struggle to obtain enough oxygen and may not recover upon release.”<\/p>\n

Cooke, based in Ottawa, Ontario<\/a>, added that anglers “need to get used to such closures, as they will become more common.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

“However, if anglers up their game and improve their fish handling by minimizing fight time and eliminating air exposure, then that will be better for fish and allow continued fishing,” he said.<\/p>\n

“We are seeing the same thing play out with muskellunge anglers in the Midwest<\/a>, or Atlantic salmon anglers in the Northeast.”<\/p>\n

Cooke, who is on the board of the nonprofit organization Keep Fish Wet, said regulations like fishing closures “make more sense” in national parks, to ensure sensitive resources are protected.<\/p>\n

“Yellowstone supports some of the world’s most famous fisheries and has been a destination for generations of anglers for over 150 years,” the site states.<\/p>\n

“Fishing regulations are designed to maintain native fish abundance and genetic integrity, the park’s overall ecological integrity, and a recreational fishery for park visitors.”<\/p>\n
