After the ice sheet on Yellowstone Lake breaks up in May and grinds downstream beneath Fishing Bridge, you can witness a spawning frenzy. Cutthroat trout lay millions of eggs in the riverbed gravel within sight of the bridge. Spawning season has a powerful effect on other wildlife in the Fishing Bridge area, as a variety of birds and animals are drawn to the feast.Ospreys dive for immature cutthroats less than 13 inches long; pelicans take adult fish. Looking for seasonal protein, grizzly bears snatch spawning trout.
