Talk about salmon fishing." said n
angler, who had been casting a deep
pool of one of the Oregon atreams for
winter steelhead with poor success, "did
you ever see bear go fishing V
The listener and looker-on confessed that
he had not.
"Well, that Just where you hnve missed
the funniest sight In your life. Bears

a lot to ruffl the nerve of a lr. I

and one fall when I was on a deer hunt 1
I camped out on a branch of th Rogue !
In the Rogue River mountains. It waa
a good trout stream and the salmo.i were
coming up In a way that made a man
craxy. On every rial we com a see inem
running aground and In the shallows mak

was an easy matter to wade In and club

in a narrow run and waa lying In my
sleeping bag one morning about sun
rise, when I awoke suddenly with a kind
of start and saw not ISO feet away a
cinnamon bear he looked a big as an
ox to me.

"At first I thought he was bathing, as
he stood shoulder deep In th stream,
standing as Still and quiet a a statue;
but all at once he gave a side 'blow, a
Sort of dipping motion, with his paw,
and a thirty-pound salmon went whix
slng out Into shallow water, Mr. Bear
galloping- after him. The salmon kicked
up a tremendous fuss, leaping half out,
rolling over, and would have got away,
but th bear nailed him with one of his
terrible claws, dragged him out and be
gan to eat him, a cub coming out ot the
bush to share the feast.
"I had an Idea that the bear stood In
th water until he felt a salmon run
against his legs, aa they wsre so thick
at times that the river seemed to be a
solid mass of fish, but it seemed too
much of a fish story. One day I told the
man what I had seen the cinnamon do
and he told me the following:
Th first time,' he said, I ever saw a
bear go fishing was in Canada on the east
coast I had been fish Ins ud a stream
and one day we came to a rapid where the
water poured over a rocky ledge. On either
side were numerous potholes of various
depth and sties and alongside of them
were the bones of salmon, as though some
one had been camping out.
"'My guide, an Indian, laughed when I
made the auggestlon. "Him bear, he take
him, grab him, catch salmon." I coulld hot
ueuBve insi a near couia eaten a salmon
from such a stream, so I camped near br
and after several days of watching I was
repaid by seeing s run of salmon.
" "As they went up the steep half fall
habout one In ten fell out on the side and In
Its struggle landed in a convenient pot
hole. During that exciting and eventful
day at least six or eight of these fish were
trapped in this way. Two or three days
later my man called me In the night, and
creeping out to the fall I saw a bear, and
later two, feeding on salmon which they
fished up out of the potholes, and by morn
ing they had cleaned them out, leaving only
the bones to tell the story.'
ir you want to see bear fishing
though," continued the angler, ' von Should
go to Aleska. Some years a so I made a
four months' hunt on Admiralty Island,
where the giant bears of the world live, big

ing as large as a short-leg sd blon. My
guide told me that the hesra know when
the salmon runs begin a well as a man.
and that he has seen them losing out snl

weak moment offered the fellow a white

sight. I never lost money so easily In my
life aa It wasn't six weeks later thst 1 wa
sitting In th brush watching that very
thing. ,
"I had been something of a bear hunter
all my life and had killed about all th
bears found In America ; but these big Alas
kan bears took the prlie. I don't know that
they weigh any more then a gotd grilily.
but certainly a big brown or karlink bear
In prime condition looks a third larger than
a grlisly. He seems to have a hump like
a buffalo and his coat Is m most extraordi
nary affair, and when Mr. Oso I mad and
his fur Is on end he Is a sight. We had
good luck and I am convinced thst the
man who got Into this country some
twenty years ago must have seen flocks of
bears, and a sight Worth seeing.
"About the last of Jun the bear decide
to go -flshlng. and If you want them your
best chance la along the salmon stream.
How they know the salmon run jl that
time I leave for the nature writer to de
cide, but the fact remains that Just aa a
hlte man gets the fishing fever In spring
so does the big brown bear of Alaska, and,
hungry and savage, he makes his way to
the streams and plays th mischief with the
salmon.
"Three kinds of bear grlisly, black and
brown are common In this country, and
they all fish. A tenderfoot In the country
would say that In certain localities It was
full of sheep or cattle, as the tracks of
bears cover the around and regular lanes
are beaten through the brush and moss.
'My man selected a place where the river
was fairly shallow and we lay on the top
of a neighboring rock surrounded by stones.
which we piled up as a sort of barricade
and from which we could command half a
mile up and down the stream. About S
o'clock he called my attention to a bear
rousing a flat some 200 yards distant on
the other side of the stream. The big
fellow walked slowly along, came down to
the beach, once In a while rising on his
hind legs ss though to Inspecf the sur
rounding country. After a time, evi
dently seeing' the backs of some salmon
as they dashed across the riffle, he waded
in and stood perfectly still until several
big fish passed near him, when down the
big claw came and the bear plunged his
head Into the water and took the salmon
In his mouth, then waded ashore and began
to eat the fish. '
Fear Basy at Osre.
Then another bear appeared, about 10J
yards above, and In all I saw four bears
fishing. Som appeared to kill the fish
with their paws, some knocked them out
of the water on the beach with a batlike
motion. When the backs or the salmon
were exposed I saw a btar seize them In
his teeth and carry them ashore. So easily
was the catch made that the bears rejected
parts of many of the salmon, eating only
the belly, showing much discrimination;
and 1 saw one portion of the beach on a
stream emptying Into Cook Inlet where
hundreds of remains of salmon could be
seen, left by these shaggy fishermen."
Probably every bear hunter has had Some
experience with bear fishing. Of the entire
tribe the polar bear Is of course th most
Iklllful fisherman. He will take everything
from a seal to a walrus, and doubtless
preyed upon the huge rhyttna that lived j
on the shores or tne Arctic ocean in
Bering sea several centuries ago.
The best account of fishing bears is given
In one of the government reports by W. H.
Osgood. He saw old bears wade into tha
water, standing upright. Just as an Indian'
would do, watching the water with the
greatest car. They moved slowly, holding
their arms low. paws out, claws alert, and
the second a salmon approached them to
gether came the claws and the big fish
was tossed onto the bank, where- th cubs,
big and little, were often In waiting. In
shallow water Mr. Osgood saw the bears
fish on all. fours, moving very slowly or
standing perfectly quiet until a salmon
struck the riffle, when it was hit with a
sledgehammer blow and seized and carried
ashore. '
