The Outdoors

Early spring fishing in Montana can be fantastic. Sure, social distancing applies in the great outdoors too so pick a place you can be on your own. Folks need some good fishing therapy now more than ever.

Winter isn't done with us. Gusty winds and up to 5" of snow is expected by Tuesday afternoon.

All counties between Bozeman and Billings are expecting up to 5 more inches of snow by Wednesday afternoon, making commutes sloppy at best.

Snow continues to fall around Gallatin County and the highest elevations may get up to a foot of fresh snow by Sunday night.

A mid March storm is headed for SW Montana and the highest elevations could get up to 10 fresh inches of snow, with at least a few inches expected in the valleys.

Warm temps in the northeast part of Montana has prompted a small stream flooding advisory until Tuesday morning. The rest of the state can't be far behind.

Several counties including Gallatin, Jefferson and Broadwater will see very gusty winds up to 60 MPH through Wednesday.

Gusty winds up to 60 MPH will be an issue for Livingston, Springdale, and other areas on the I-90 corridor until Wednesday night.

This year people will see some changes to how they can buy general licenses and apply for special (limited draw) licenses and permits.
