nice pictures. I was fishing for salmon in that area (west side of Welch) last Saturday morning when I looked back and say "a bird" soaring in behind our boat. It came to within 30 feet then hovered, dropped its talons and picked up a 20 inch salmon and carried it back to the island and into a tree to feast.
Its always amazing to see an eagle but to watch this was a highlight for me. My other two passengers were my brother and nephew that have never been on the Lake before or seen an eagle...I think it took about 15 minutes for their mouths to shut.
I'm understanding that the eagles are beginning to learn to hang around the fishing "fleet" in the area as they release salmon and the fish will linger on the surface for a minute or two and create an easy meal....
