A good place for fish

An adult female grizzly fishing in belly-deep water 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.

    Wow, that's a humongous adult female grizzly bear, and she looks not only intent on finding fish but that she could even give the male grizzly bears a run for their money!

    Wow, she is a big one! And, clearly, a smart one, as she has figured out the best fishing spots! Who knew that fallen trees would make that much difference? (Well the bears, obviously, and those who have studied the area!)

    A few days ago I had my POTD not show up on the main page--for no good reason.

    Great capture of this pro on her fishing expedition...... I'm sure they know the very best spots.
