  • Wolf fishing / Bears



    Walter & Group...

    Peter Minnick sent me pictures of a wolf salmon fishing.   I placed them in attachments. 

    While I've never seen a wolf do this, I remember this place well.  Bob Andreae and I spent lots of time fascinated as we watched the bears fishing for sockeyes at this spot in the Valley of the Ten Thousand Smokes, Katmi, Alaska.  I even had a bear take a salmon off my line farther downstream from this point.

    We learned:  When a bear wants your salmon as he snorkels down river, JUST BREAK OFF THE FISH AND LET HIM HAVE IT!

    ....... Learned many other "rules" of fishing in big bear country.   May host a topic on this at another time.

                 This is Brooks Falls just upstream

    from where the Brooks River

     flows into  Naknek  Lake in the

      Katami National Monument ,

      Alaska .   Have you ever seen

    a Wolf fish for salmon?
