RECREATING IN BEAR COUNTRY While a bear sighting is not always guaranteed you should be prepared in case of an encounter. The Crown of the Continent region is ideal bear habitat and supports a healthy population of both black and grizzly bears. Always carry bear spray with you, never feed wildlife, know your bears, keep a safe distance, and properly store attractants.

FISHING

• Be wary of water tempartures rising. Fish become stressed as dissovled oxygen level drops. Try to fish in the early morning. Always be aware of regulations specific to the water-body you will fish. Hoot owl fishing restrictions may be in place.
