Yesterday we drove back to Dyea Flats, hoping to either catch salmon or see the bear (safely, from a distance). The stream is pretty shallow, so it's usually easy to see the fish.

Right now the salmon aren’t interested in eating – the only thing on their mind is reproduction. So we didn’t catch any, although we did snag a big one on the fin. It’s illegal to keep a snagged fish, so we let it go. And we didn’t see the bear, either, so we’ll have to try again. But if we have to be somewhere not catching fish, it's hard to beat this place!
