Description
The last full day found my friend and I photographing from the Fishing Bridge District bridge.
It was a very crisp morning, and when the cool air met the warmer waters of the Yellowstone River, a luscious bed of mist rose up to greet the first rays of the rising sun.
It was such a wonderful way to begin our last full day in Yellowstone National Park!
The original bridge was built in 1902. It was a rough-hewn corduroy log bridge with a slightly different alignment than the current bridge. The existing bridge was built in 1937. The Fishing Bridge was historically a tremendously popular place to fish. Angling from the bridge was quite good, due to the fact that it was a major spawning area for cutthroat trout. However, because of the decline of the cutthroat population (in part, a result of this practice), the bridge was closed to fishing in 1973. Since that time, it has become a popular place to observe fish.
