This was one of three sows that patrolled this stretch of river that afternoon, occasionally walking, other times at full pelt, charging through the river. Could not tell you if they were related or not, but all were of similar build & size, so... The other two were walking through the river down towards this one, poised with one foot slightly off the ground she was ready for another charge for the salmon. They had obviously realised we were of no threat and walked by incredibly closely with no fear at all. A great feeling and privilege to have been this close, not aware that a day later things would be even closer with a good sized male.
