I am heading that way for a fall bear hunt. First bear tag I’ve drawn but have seen flyfishing and exploring POW for the past decade. I usually ferry over but have bush plane dropping us off far away from the road system. If I’m lucky, I’ll need to have the skull/ hide sealed in Ketchikan. Does anyone have someone recommend? I know there is a respected person in Thorne Bay but won’t be able to go through there. Happy to share flyfishing information with anyone, that’s about all I can contribute on the knowledge end.

Nice that’s a big bear! And it’s been great weather the last couple of weeks too!

Make sure you report back after this trip! I'm heading there in late may of 2027! Can't wait! Looking forward to hearing about your experience!

Great Bear Rowdy99, any more luck? I will be up there as well, we are going May 7-13.

We passed on a couple small bears. And a couple big ones gave us the slip the last couple days.

Overall great trip

Highly recommend Mike Warner with Coffman Cove adventures. High quality people and they feed you insanely well.

Strong work on the that slobberknocker! I have a place in Coffman and my boat at Mike's place. I get there July 1 and your post has me fired up to get there.

Have a blast man! I was hoping to lose a few lbs on this hunt in prep for elk season, think Mike fed me to well
