By the way, if you were at the Pappa Bear booth at the show, you
probably saw my buddies video.

Nope. These are all Ca. boys. I'm a bit curious as to why you're going
so early?

Early?
Jim O went the same time last year in July made a killing on the King
Salmon. The biggest he hooked was in the 50 pound range.
Papa Bear Adventures....note the schedule the the Arolik.

I guess i'm a little surprised you are targeting Kings. If you want BIG
fish, then I do understand why you're going in July. If you wait a
little later, you'll run into a few more species of salmon. Either way,
you'll have rainbows, dollies and grayling to contend with, on top of
the kings. I hear it's an awesome trip. Wish I had gone when the
opportunity came up.

Email me if you want the DVD

Willi,
Jim says he met a married couple in July who ran into Bear trouble. They
were not the outdoors type and knew nothing about bears so they hung around
him just about the whole time. I think the worst part of his trip.

Tom, I've been to the Arolik the last two summers. Once in late July,
once in late August.
Niether trip were bears much of an issue at all. This last trip we did
in late August for Silvers, we didn't see any. But the river was high
and most carcasses were washed away. I think the bears were out hunting
berries. More bear action during the king run when the water is lower.
The bears are hunted so they shy away from humans very quickly from my
experience. Definatley take appropriate firearm(s). I've done three
trips with PaPa Bear. Steve & the crew there, are great. PS this is my
first time here at this forum. -Tim Bermingham
