Coho Salmon Photo

This was taken on June 25th, 2006 near Seward, Alaska.  The Coho Salmon were running when I was there.  This is on Bear Creek near Seward.  They're not allowed to fish for salmon on the fresh-water creeks entering Resurrection Bay (I believe), and it's just amazing how thick the salmon are in some of these streams. 

I wonder why it's called "Bear Creek"?  I don't suppose a bear would show much interest in this, do you?
