- Location: Riffles Wildlife Viewing Platform at Brooks Camp.
- When to Watch: July is the best time to watch bears fishing for salmon in the riffles area of the Brooks River. However, bears are in the area from mid spring until mid fall. Katmai’s brown bears are most active during daylight hours.
- What to Look For: From late June until mid July, bears may actively chase schools of migrating salmon through the river at this spot. They may also practice more patient fishing techniques like sitting in the river and waiting for the fish to swim to them. In July, some female bears with cubs prefer to fish here instead of Brooks Falls.
