- THOM BRIDGE, Independent Record

An angler fishes the Clark Fork River just below the confluence with Rattlesnake Creek on Friday. Beginning Saturday, fishing will be closed in a 100-yard radius around where Rattlesnake Creek enters the Clark Fork to protect bull trout that are seeking the colder water of the Rattlesnake as the Clark Fork heats up.
