BEARS FISHING 117

interesting part of the whole proceedings is when you spare
the bear and watch him doing his fishing, The best

for the fun of the thing, once in a while giving one a flip
and sending it flying out on to the bank. If the bears
are not very hungry they may catch a number, and never
eat one of them, or else only small pieces, and then go in
again and catch more. Grizzlies will catch them by the
Score and pile them up and cover them with sticks and
leaves for future use, but a black bear never does this.
Black bear frequent the slides in the spring as the
grizzly does; but though it is a common occurrence to find
both species out on the same slide at the same time
