Fishermen's dream. We used to swim in trout streams with a swim mask and follow them around.
I worked in SE Alaska doing a lot of stream gauging and water quality sampling. We could herd the salmon with the prop wash on the helicopter. The biggest fish I have ever caught were silver and chum salmon herded into shallow water while wearing waders.
The bears were there every day, chasing the fish. After awhile they become part of the landscape.

Very cool, but I don't like seeing it. Word will get out and pretty soon cruise ships will be doing "swim with the salmon" passenger excursions. :shock:

Heck, I swam with the stingrays. Can't be anything dumber than that.
