Their was a narrow opening on this weir that the salmon were coming through and a couple of guys were netting some and putting them into this box-caged area. They tag the salmon & clip their tail and then release them to go upstream into Chilkoot Lake where they are trying to track them from the lake. We hadn't been stopped very long when this young grizzly came along the weir looking for salmon. It was pretty comical when he realized that there were a whole bunch in the caged area. He tried getting into the box before he was chased off, so he went back to catching his own.
