As I mentioned, the salmon had not run yet when we first got there. The few fish that did attempt to jump the falls did not always make it only to try again. The bears watched many get so close, yet so far..

Since the fish were not plentiful and jumping a lot, I had to stand and hold the camera viewfinder to my eye and hope I was fast enough to start the shots in time to catch the fish jumping and just hope it was good and a bear could catch it, and hope I was focused in the right place.... My arms got tired. Then every time you would take a break and look elsewhere, a fish jumped and a bear got it, of course...!
