Well here we are, on one of our road trips, at a neat bridge that leads to a hiking trail, which is also made for horse travels. This time of year on the Clearwater, is always nice because the Kokanee Salmon, are back to spawn. There are often herds of them around the sandy beaches.
We went for a long drive one day, (without the CAMERA), oopsie, and saw some more beautiful country, and were able to see a total of 9 Bald Eagles, 1 Golden Eagle, several Osprey and 1 Bear. This time of year the eagles LOVE the dying Salmon, so it is quite the feeding frenzy.
The fishing was okay, in total Don caught about 20 fish, and I caught about 10. I just seem to get frustrated, because, my fish kept swallowing the fly!! OH OH OH OH HOW I HATE THAT!!! You know, I then have to get out the needlenose pliers in one hand and grab the fish in the other hand, then open their mouth and then unhook the fly,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, YUCK.

When we saw the bear, it was in a public camping area, there were no people camping. On our return trip about 4 hours later, there were people camping IN TENTS, next to where we had seen the BEAR, and then when we got to the entrance of the campground, YES, forest service had set up a BEAR TRAP!!! So those people made their own choices......
