This is the wait and they will come technique. After August 24th the grizzly bear watching is from a platform up the Glendale River. At this location the grizzlies pick off the salmon as the approach the weir into the spawning channel. These bears spent most of the morning waiting for the salmon to move up river rather than moving down to the salmon. See tomorrow….
Grizzly bears like people have a comfort zone and if you move into that zone they let you know. First you get the “look” which may be followed with what appears to be a yawn. If you do not withdraw you might hear a clicking of teeth. As guides we have the “Leave them the way you find them rule.” We want to be able to return day after day to view bears and having them leave the beach is not good.
