I did it a few times in the 80's . there was a bear at the takeout of the Situk . A sow with teo cubs. She would wait until you unloaded the boat and when you showed fish she would charge across the river. Most people would drop the fish and run for the buggy. She would mosey over and take them back to the cubs. If you stood your ground and yelled at her she would stop and stand on all fours and look at you like "what are you yelling for" and go back to her cubs. The silver run is a fun.
