CURRENT HOOT OWL RESTRICTIONS: Amsterdam road to Missouri river, entire East Gallatin is on Hoot Owl

The Gallatin canyon is our best option close to town right now. The water is cold and fish have been eating well. Chubby droppers have been killer but nymphing deep and throwing single dries will produce as well. Sallies, caddis, PMD's, and larger stoneflies are all on the menu.
