Continuing up the river we saw several grizzly bears that I was not able to photograph but the guest got some great pictures. We came to one bend in the river and there were two sub-adult grizzly bears slowly coming down river. I pulled the skiff to one side of the river and they came down the opposite bank. This took about fifteen minutes as the bears were fishing for salmon as they worked their way past us. These pictures are not really clear as I was holding the boat while waste deep in the water and using one hand to focus but I can assure you that the guest got some great pictures and memories. The comment was that “I wouldn’t want to be any closer.”  I agreed.
