boneslides Posted August 9, 2007 #1 Share Posted August 9, 2007 I have been watching the Grizzlie Cam at McNeil River Falls Sanctuary via the National Geographic site. I've seen plenty of bears, but they appear to just be stainding in the river waiting, presumably for salmon. So my dumb question...are the salmon currently running? Last year I saw the bears catching salmon via the Grizzlie Cam, but, so far, nothing this year. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
photodoodle Posted August 9, 2007 #2 Share Posted August 9, 2007 Can you please post the link to the webcam. I've been knocking around the National Geographic site, but I can't find it. I don't know about the salmon right now at that location, sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greatam Posted August 10, 2007 #5 Share Posted August 10, 2007 My husband, the avid Alaska fisherman, states that the reds are about done and the silvers are JUST barely starting (a little late this year-by about 4 days). He talks to his buddy in Homer about every 4 days. The bears you see are waiting for the last of the spawned out red salmon. Then the bears will move to the coast for the main "haul" of silver salmon. The silvers as a general rule are too big and too heavy to make it very far upstream over all the rocks and boulders.

LoveThisCruisingThing Posted August 10, 2007 #7 Share Posted August 10, 2007 They were making their way inland to Icy Strait two weeks ago. Saw lots of them in the ocean. Very cool to see jumping fish while looking for whales. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
