Year of the C.O.Y.
"Cubs of the Year". They start out no taller than a gull, and nearly double in size at the end of a good season.
2025 saw record-breaking salmon numbers starting in mid-June, lasting well until late September. We saw an unprecedented increase in females seeking out mates, and were delighted to see them all gain significant weight such that we expect most of them to carry cubs to be born spring 2026. Come visit Brown Bear Bay to witness the Great Cub Boom of 2026.
Summer 2027 - Booking Soon
Year of the Yearling
"Yearlings" are cubs who are entering their second summer, having just celebrated their 1-year birthday. We hope a great number of cubs from the COY boom in 2026 to survive into 2027, and look forward to seeing these cubs gain confidence around each other, and in the bay as they watch closely to learn how to forage and fish from their dutiful mothers.
We specialize in wildlife travel planning for hobby and professional enthusiasts & photographers/filmmakers, tour operating for individual tour leaders & established travel companies, and wildlife destination management for local landowners & commercial properties looking to extract sustainable, ethical value from the wildlife and habitat in their care.
We have been doing this for thirty years. Contacting us is the perfect start to your expedition into unleashing the value
