and there will finally be some salmon to catch. It really is driving me crazy to play out this waiting game for the salmon to start running. Eventually I will learn patience, but not yet. Here are a few pictures from the past week.
Don’t be fooled, this Dolly Varden was only 5 inches long.
I had said I would stay away from the ice, but we had by far our nicest day of the year, with temps in the low 70’s. I had to get out and take some pictures. Due to the constant cloud cover we experience, I don’t get very many opportunities to see Mount St Elias, this was only my third chance since I came back up in June.
A few days ago I was also lucky enough to witness a moose calf getting chased by a wolverine. I wish I could have been closer to get some pictures, but regardless, it was by far one of the coolest things I have had the opportunity to see. I’m not sure if the calf made it or not, they ran along the beach in front of the lodge for about a mile, before the calf finally headed up into the dense forest.
