Default Have you ever seen a wolf fish for salmon?

This is Brooks Falls just upstream from where the Brooks River flows into Naknek Lake in the Katami National Monument, Alaska. Have you ever seen a wolf fish for salmon?

Great pics! Did you take them? I'm surprised he found room to sneak in there to fish between the bears

I remeber these pics from a while ago. Pretty cool.

Wolves are very smart so it doesnt surprise me that one would catch salmon. My dog would catch the humpies in the creeks in Alaska when I was a kid.

Those are cool pics. I worked not to far from there on big creek one summer. We had a video camera that was mounted to a controller in king Salmon visitor center and it happened to be pointed across the stream and caught a wolf on video catching a humpy. I think its on Utube. We saw that wolf often but it usually just ate rotten salmon.

Does Salmon blood not hurt a wolf. You would think so being a dog and all.

Alot of the salmon rivers up there don't have the snail that causes salmon poisoning for dogs.

It is pretty regular to see Wolves wondering the river banks in that area looking for dead salmon. I have been up there for a number of years now and have only been witness to only two wolves actually "fishing" for salmon. The one in the pictures just so happens to be one of them.
