We're here on the banks of of the world-famous Yellowstone River. 
>> People do come from all over the world to to say they fish they fish 
the Yellowstone and we are more and more having issues with with low flows and and high water temperatures. And those high water temperatures do stress the fish, especially when they're being caught, netted, handled. 
We are encouraging folks to get out early in the morning when the water temperatures are coolest. 
>> Yeah, we're out here early because the river does close down in about halfway through the day due to heat. 
Trying to keep fish very healthy and active. 
And when it gets super hot out and a lot of people are fishing and catching the fish, it it ends up killing a lot of the population of fish. 
At this time in the year right now, it's still pretty chilly at night time. 
So, it's super good to come out early in the morning cuz you're fishing and all the water temperature is still super cold. 
Fish will be a lot more active. 
Better fishing in general. 
But, as soon as that sun starts coming up and the water starts heating up, definitely takes a dig on the fishing and the fish life in general. 
>> We're definitely seeing over the years more and more of these issues with with river flows and and warming temperatures. We are seeing kind of more people shift their trips from around the country. They're just kind of shifting towards the fall when water temperatures cool down.
