Sharing space on the river with the master fishers. A photo and fishing trip to Alaska. There are a few golden rules to remember: 1. Yield the right of way to the bears. ALWAYS. 2. Keep your head on a swivel and stay calm. The bears want fish, not you. They don't want you because they don't associate humans with food. Keep it that way - don't feed them! 3.

      Your line may sound like an easy meal to a bear (think dinner bell). Be prepared to back off and surrender your catch!
