Chilko Lake 3

Good place for fish

An adult female grizzly in belly-deep water fishing by some deadfall logs, Chilko River, British Columbia. I noticed that the grizzly bears would often be fishing in areas where there were a lot of downed trees which made me wonder if the salmon preferred areas like this where there was more shade and that provide a place to rest away from strong currents. A little research confirmed that fallen trees promotes a complex portfolio of aquatic habitats that are essential for the survival of salmon populations.
