Today we took a float plane to fish for salmon and watch bears! Up at 4:30 to make flight at 7 a.m. Four fisher-people and one (Jon) bear-watcher. Actually, as soon as the bears hit the water, we were ALL bear-watchers while they were in the water, with our fishing lines reeled in! A dream come true to see bears up so close. We and the bears fished together very peacefully. 12 bears, including two moms, each with triplet cubs. We caught our limit of 3 salmon each; and Ron and Cindy grilled two wonderful filets for supper!
