Squamish Moose, Wolves and Cougars

A recent day on the Squamish River proved to be a wildlife viewing day as even the swans were enjoying the weather which reached a balmy 6 Celcius.

The day was perfect as the clouds looked like puffs of cotton balls and the river was just the perfect clarity for fishing.

Picture
The day turned out to be a cornucopia of animal tracks near one of my favorite fishing holes.  A herd of four moose were the first set of tracks I came across which cut across the sandbanks and wandered up into the willows.  Next I came across wolf tracks that were large enough for me to not want to be near them.  About 5 km further downstream another set of moose tracks caught my attention and a little further away, two sets of cougar tracks, one as large as my hand.  The story in sand showed that the moose had gone from a walk to a trot and the cougars had obviously gotten excited as their tracks laid out several circles before heading into the willows after the moose.
Picture
This  was all watched over by the ubiquitous eagles with some trees holding eleven or more birds.  This fellow had just finished off feeding on a salmon he had lifted to the top of a dead tree.  At the base of the tree about a dozen coho were focused on spawning with the bucks vigorously defending their territory.

Picture
Were there any fish?  Well yes, though the number of salmon were down they still hit the fly with surprising aggression.  One pool yielded a few bull trout that chased the fly to the shore.

And like every good day, the fisherman has to ride off into the sunset over Howe Sound!
