Aug 19 (cont) six fish in the pocket below Shannon pool. Watched a gosband chase a crow in wild flight but the crow got away. Grizzly at wolf tracks on sandbar at Delt Hole. Sockeye salmon are spawning in little run back of the bar -- bright red with green heads. Aug 20, 1978. I caught a silver salmon (coho) of about 5 lbs. in AD. After lunch Darryl flew me up Kincaid River which enter clean from the north. Chum salmon were spawning in riffles. Saw over 50 bald eagles. Darryl hunts grizzlies here as we stopped to inspect his hunting cabin. Grizzly tracks at more tracks on bars, as a bear had been rubbing its back on the cabin. Aug 21 I caught a small steelhead about 5 lbs. Darryl hooked < monster chinook and deliberately broke it off. Lots of mergansers on the river, some of them flightless (young I presume). Bucher of sock up to 30. Darryl saw < gosband chasing a crow in same area where I saw it two days ago. Big chinook salmon are spawning in gravel runs right out in main stream. They look like submarines moving out of the way of our boat.
