High-water conditions continue to impact fishing access sites and other recreational areas in Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks Region 7. FWP urges people to use caution and check accessibility if they plan to recreate near rivers or streams.
Breaking ice jams, spring rains and continuing snowmelt mean that some areas may see flooding and elevated water levels. Road access is partially restricted at some sites, and even foot traffic could be hazardous.
FWP Fisheries/Maintenance crews will assess conditions as they visit sites and offer periodic updates for the public.

Fallon Bridge- No flooding. Ice and debris on boat ramp. No access restrictions.
