Fishing Bridge Details
A bridge built in 1902 at the north end of Yellowstone Lake quickly became a popular fishing spot. However, overfishing in this spawning area eventually depleted the population of cutthroat trout, so fishing was banned. The current bridge was constructed in 1937 and remains a good place to see fish.
