This brown bear and her cub must have been quite successful at this stream in Tidal Inlet, as I saw them fishing there several days in a row. In addition to this pair, I saw five or six other brown bears fishing in the same stream. When there is a surplus of food, such as during a salmon run, bears can be quite tolerant of other nearby bears. With so much food to go around, there is no need to waste precious energy fighting over it.
