Anyway we flew to Brooks Falls from the King Salmon Lodge on Saturday ...which is known to have a very high concentration of brown bears when the salmon start coming in..there were no salmon yet, but they are on their way..so, not that many bears, yet..
I am a novice fly fishing guy at best..yet I hooked into 20+ rainbow trout in about a 4 hour period..incredible..

I saw the bear coming out of the woods, but didn't let the video guy know until he had gotten to within about 70 yards of him..told him to look behind him..could tell by the high pitch in his voice and moving in the water, he didn't like to be "that" close to bears

laughed so hard I almost peed my pants...
