Photo: Sockeye salmon

Photograph by Paul Nicklen
For “Pacific Suite,” February 2003

Paul Nicklen waited six hours lying in frigid water to catch this sockeye salmon in a Vancouver Island river. The trophy? An image conveying “the perfect salmon habitat,” he says. “It shows the beautiful clean water and what things can be like for the fish, with proper management.”
