I have had a few very close encounters with black bears in Montana while fly fishing and if I had time to catch my breath I would have been screaming like a busload of school girls. Amazing how many folks used to black bears treat them almost like a nuisance squirrel - chase them out of their backyards with a broom, etc. Very brave!

Many men go fishing all of their lives without knowing that it is not fish they are after. ~ Henry David Thoreau
