of sign:
Off the Hook
Historic
Fishing Bridge
Before
Fishing Bridge closed to fishing in 1973, visitors fished here elbow to elbow
- their snagging each other as well as passing
motorists.
Regulations were changed when park managers realized that fishing from this
bridge was decimating the trout population.
Now
this spawning area, vital to both river and lake fish is recovering.
Watch for white pelicans - their huge yellow beaks ready
to
catch a meal - and other fish eating birds. After an absence
of many decades, they have returned.
