Bears aren’t the only ones to hit Silver Salmon Creek for fish – its just that the bears have the right of way! When the bears approach, the fishermen back out of the river and bunch up for safety. If you hook a fish and a bear shows up, you have to cut it loose.
This little cub seemed as intrigued by the people, as the people in the bear.
We now new sections on our website for Lake Clark National Park, And Halibut Cove, Alaska.

Wow. That’s a fast turnaround time for these images Ron.
I found this shot to be really powerful: http://www.wildnatureimages.com/Alaska/Halibut-Cove/Gull-Island-Photos.htm
I think because of the massive sense of scale.
Thanks Richard,
I was going to post that one but didn’t – maybe I will.
