I love these images of all the bear on the Atnarko River. I'd be interested in knowing how they deal with the bears coming around the boats & fishing gear, and how far they back off to feel safe and still continue to view the bears. I have a new cabin down river where the Atanarko turns into the Bella Coola. I'll be returning summer of 2011 and would assume bears could be walking through my cabin site. I'll be alone there.
