Your absolute BEST thing to do would be

Fish with two other guys.... stay within shouting distance... shout converse with them constantly. It’s just about a sure fire thing.

My lab is well trained... she stays super close to me and freaks out at bears.... has helped me out 4 separate times for sure.

Honestly it’s the damn Cats that scare me. They don give a snort if their food barks or yells.

I hate big cats.

Be loud. Find friends. Fish real slow... chat tonnes.

You’ll be fine fine.

I’ve run into a bear on the streams at least once every year for the past decade. They run away.


Having said that.... I’ve fished the South Castle a week before that poor fellow got killed, 1/2 eaten and stashed in the gravel bar.

Wife and I lunched right there I think.




On sammiches.

You're right about one thing. Fish with two other guys.....make sure they are fat, slow and cheer for the Flames.
