Alaska - Fishing Guide Running Boat 2 Editorial Image

A guide running the boat and navigating Big River Lake, heading for Wolverine Creek for salmon fishing and bear viewing. Fishing, especially for salmon, is one of the main tourism draws for both visitors and residents alike and is an important economic driver throughout Alaska. Visitors in this photo are fishing for Sockeye salmon where Wolverine Creek runs into Big River Lake. This popular summer tourism destination allows the few visitors lucky enough to take excursions from Kenai and Soldotna on the Kenai Peninsula to visit Wolverine Creek to not only fish for salmon, but to see brown grizzly and black bears fishing for salmon themselves.
