Alaska Wolverine Creek flyover

Our flyover charter went out of Soldotna and flew to Wolverine Creek. Brandon did this last year, so he stayed back to fish Reds on the Kenai with Al. I went with Jon and Jone. Murray, Kathy, and Susan were out on another boat. We had so much fun. We saw 7 bears total, 5 adults and 2 babies. We saw a mother bear nursing her cubs, a bear fight, and had a bear walking on his hind legs in the water right around our boat. We also all limited on reds. Such a fun day. Jon and Jone were a lot of fun, Jone took a big hook to the nose and was a very good sport! You may notice the picture of Sarah Palin, not everyone gets to fish with Sarah Palin while she is filming an outdoor special! It was a great start to our trip.

You where that close to a polititian and a bear at the same time and you didn't get eaten alive? CRAZY! Aaron thinks you are SO lucky to have been that close to a real bear. They are so cute! Looks like you guys had an awesome time!
