Ah, now i get the picture. Well if you have a large boat to base out of
then getting to the head of some of the big inlets like Bute or Knight or
maybe even Jervus should increase your chances of seeing bears especially
if the salmon are running. I'm no expert on bears but that's where I'd go.
Or for something really unique go to Princess Royal island and look for
the kemonda bear.
