Bears of the Moraine River

Guiding on the rivers in Alaska we encounter some very special moments with mother nature.  Sometimes we are fortunate enough to be able to capture these on film.  The photos below were taken by our guide Monty Thierry.  He had a chance to spend the entire day just bear viewing with two of our guests on Moraine Creek. Monty has a unbelievable eye for capturing photographs.  Click on the pictures to see the full image!

 Moraine Creek is known for two things its bears, and big rainbow trout.  On a given day you may see over thirty different bears in a couple miles of river.  Bear viewers will travel from all over the world to spend a few days hiking its banks and photographing its wildlife.

Monty has worked for Rainbow River Lodge for 2 years and is heading back to his hometown here in a few days to continue guiding for summer steelhead in Washington.  Look him up at Reel Advenures Guide Service if you are interested in chasing some of these monster sea-run rainbows on his local rivers. Below are a few pictures of what he can show you back in his home state!
