Kind of a twist on this thread, but a friendly squirrel let me know something was not right. About four years ago I was fishing the Kenai in Alaska during the late Red run. I was the only one on the bank at the time and this squirrel starts making some real noise. I didn't pay it much mind, but after about five minutes of this I decided to try and spot it in the trees to see what was setting it off. I spotted it about 60 yds back in the trees and glanced to the base of the tree to see a huge brown bear sitting on its haunches watching me fish. I can only guess what may have happened had I hooked and fought a salmon. I slipped out of sight along the bank and made a beeline to the car.
