From late August until early November is the season to watch both black bears and grizzly bears go after Kokanee fish in local creeks, rivers, and lakes. The bears are fattening up in preparation for their long hibernation through the winter. The season begins with black bears in local creeks.
This is probably a female black bear scouring the water of a local creek.
It pounces on many fish spawning in the creek but only captures a few of them.
But, it is successful often enough that it carries on gorging on Kokanee.
