Insider Guide to Yellowstone
Fishing Cone is a hot spring that got its name because men would fish in Yellowstone Lake and then boil their fish in the hot spring on the lakeshore.
Fishing Cone can be viewed from the outer loop of the West Thumb Geyser Basin Trail which passes next to Yellowstone Lake. Clearly, fishing is no longer allowed here in order to protect the hot spring from damage and ensure visitor safety.
Nearby hydrothermal features include the Black Pool and Abyss Pool. Read more about West Thumb Geyser Basin.
