Alaska - Many People Fishing For Salmon Editorial Photo

A man fishing for sockeye salmon at Wolverine Creek where it empties into Big River Lake, surrounded by other boats. 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 bears fishing for salmon themselves.
