Description
On an afternoon shore excursion while on an Alaskan cruise, we found ourselves in the small community of Haines looking for bears. As we walked along the Chilkoot River, tucked in between the Takshanuk Mountains and the Freebee glacier, we came up empty on bear sightings but did enjoy a lot of birds, a sea otter, bald eagles, and these fly fisherman scattered among the rocks out in the very wide river. These guys were serious about their sport! Just up the river from this location, we passed a salmon gate, stretching across the river with a small opening to allow salmon to move through, where an employee was sitting and counting the salmon as they moved downstream.
