Description
Pictured is the Firehole River tree reflections in a panorama as it flows north past Old Faithful and the Geyser Basin. It is located about 21 miles from its source in Madison Lake on the Continental Divide to join the Gibbon River at Madison Junction in Yellowstone National Park. Well known for it fly fishing, it is part of the Missouri River system.
Above Old Faithful the Firehole runs cooler throughout the summer and provides anglers with good opportunities for catching smaller brook trout.
With the discharge of thermally-heated water from the closed section, fishing in the Little Firehole provides cooler water and larger fish in the lower reaches and smaller fish in the canyon pocket water.
Yellowstone National Park is an American national park located in the western United States, largely in the northwest corner of Wyoming and extending into Montana and Idaho. It was established by the 42nd U.S. Congress with the Yellowstone National Park Protection Act and signed into law by President Ulysses S. Grant on March 1, 1872.
Yellowstone was the first national park in the U.S. and is also widely held to be the first national park in the world. The park is known for its wildlife and its many geothermal features, especially the Old Faithful geyser, one of its most popular. While it represents many types of biomes, the subalpine forest is the most abundant. It is part of the South Central Rockies forests ecoregion.
