Fish Creek is in the Tongass National Forest, road access to which is through the Alaskan hamlet of Hyder, adjacent to the Canadian town of Stewart. Just a few miles out from Hyder, the US Forest Service has built a catwalk along the creek, a few hundred meters long, from which you can safely observe the spawning salmon and the feasting grizzlies. We visited this place in 2002 and were knocked out...and knocked out again on August 25th.

| Not a huge water-way |
 |
| But the salmon come here, in the season, by the thousands |
 |
| Among the many informative displays |
 |
| They spawn and die, a dance of love and death |
 |
| As if on cue... |
 |
| Not a small one |
 |
| Nor a picky eater |
 |
| A great show... |
