All fishers are not created equal

grizzly caught salmon — Click to enlarge

Just as all grizzly bears are not the same size or the same colours not all have the same ability when it comes to catching salmon. The fall viewing area on Knight Inlet’s Glendale River has an abundance of pink salmon and this attracts the bears. The estimated of grizzly salmon consumption runs from 40 to 100 pounds in a day depending on the size of the bear. Even if you take a low number of fifty pounds considering the pink salmon average weight are 3.5 to 4 lbs. They still need at least 12 to 15 fish a day to fatten for the winter. Bigger bears allot more. Bears fishing for salmon is not a hobby it is a lifestyle.

fast dolphin — Click to enlarge then click again

Pacific white-sided dolphins can be found on any one of the lodge’s tours. Whether going on a whale watching safari, up the river with Trapper Rick or up Knight Inlet to view grizzly bears. These dolphins most often travel in pods several hundred strong and love to ride the bow wave of the boat or to follow in the prop wash of the motor. They will race the boat and leap up to three or four meters (ten to twelve feet) out of the water. A glassy calm day with the reflection of the trees just makes the photo more amazing.
