Our bear was out running around in the daytime today. Followed him over to the neighboring complex.

did you schmear some honey on your ass and say “here bear, here bear”

We went down to Cooper Landing along the Kenai River. It really is an epic place with one major downfall. There are always tons of people and everything is basically shoulder to shoulder until end of September. You miss out on the legalized snagging of sockeye but I always tell people they should visit Alaska end of August through mid September. The weather generally isn't cold during the day and everything isn't as "busy". Plus the fishing can be pretty good if you time it right. We did not time it right as we were basically fishing in holes that 10+ people had already fished over a 12 hour stretch.

Good looking pup!

He's not great with strangers and will react aggressively out of anxiety but he's pretty good in certain environments. He's been a joy to fish with this fall but I always have to find a spot where we won't run into people. There's a certain comfort about not running into bears either because he will smell them way before I do.

That life jacket is a blessing and a curse. It makes him more confident but creates a lot more drag which makes it harder for him to swim in faster currents. A lot of times I have my fly rod in one hand and the other hand is on the life jacket handle.
