This image of a Grizzly Bear enjoying the efforts of his fishing at the remote Taku River in Northern British Columbia, and if you look closely you will even see another bear lurking, jealously, in the background.

Photographing the Grizzly Bears along this river was a unique experience as we had the opportunity to be right at the edge of the river.  Therefore the images are shot straight out, instead of down if you were shooting from a platform, which is the case at some river-side Grizzly Bear Photography sites. And more importantly it was only our group that had the entire camp and riverside to ourselves. I don’t think I realized what it felt like to be completely off the grid until I took a helicopter into this remote, but very well-equipped camp.
