love fishing in Alaska, especially in September, when huge rainbow trout move out of lakes and into streams to fatten up on sockeye eggs. I enjoy the silver salmon run, too, but what I like most is sharing rivers with bears and my camera. In September, Alaskan brown bears fatten up for winter, and sockeye salmon are their main source of nourishment. That means rivers with the most sockeyes also have the most rainbows — and the most bears. The perfect combination.
