  • With traveling numbers low during this summer of 2020 we got the opportunity to visit Anan Creek's well known bear observatory. Waking up on a beautiful Saturday morning and spending the day viewing bears made one of the top days of 2020.

    Nice. I was looking at Pack Creek Bears and stumbled on this and said…. “Hey! That’s Marissa!” I stayed in the Forest Service Cabin for a couple of nights many years ago. Eric Yancey took us there. Great place! Thanks.

    I grew up in Wrangell and have fished at Anan commercially for 30 years Anan is just behind Wrangell and not even close to Petersburg !

    Awesome video! When is the best time to see bears there?

      Good Question!! We actually missed the hottest weekend when both brown and black bears were really active!! Early August would be best time. The salmon run was beginning to slow down and the heavy rains made it hard for the bear to catch what salmon came up stream. Perhaps I'll get to go again, definitely before late August this time.

    We get black bear passing through from time to time and occasionally cars hit them. I live north west of Pittsburgh Pennsylvania. I helped a taxidermist pick one up to put in his truck one time that a car hit. They’re obviously heavy and I remember its wrist bone was like holding the large end of a baseball bat. The biggest one I’ve ever seen was crossing through my brother’s land one night. I’d say it was around 500 pounds. They are so black that when your headlights shine on them, it’s like they don’t reflect light at all. It’s like a black hole in the road. Regarding worms, I’ve never had sushi. I’ve heard comments by others that you could pick up parasites from sushi. No thanks. Let the bears deal with that.

      Bears can get pretty big for sure!! No joke on their strength, speed and agility. I love sushi!! But haven't had any with salmon, just ahi.
