(Disneyland, c.2000s) An original prop fish from the waters of Frontierland. Prior to the opening of Bear Country and its namesake attraction, the Country Bear Jamboree, there was a second area within Disneyland named "Bear Country." On the Mine Train Through Nature's Wonderland, guests would cross a bridge through this smaller "Bear Country" where they would see several animatronic bears near the water. Attentive guests might occasionally spot one of these prop trout that would briefly jump out of the water. Even after Nature's Wonderland closed in 1977 to make way for Big Thunder Mountain, the body of water and these prop trout remained. This particular prop was likely installed in the 2000s to replace some of the older trout and is composed of resin and plastic on its original metal rod. Measuring 10" long and 19" tall including the rod, the fish is in fair condition with breaks in two of the fins and a missing right eye.
