Thanks for the comment.
Crowds will depend on the time of the year and if the salmon are running.
Even given some crowds, you should be able to figure out when the
observation deck is not crowded - just be flexible with your timing. Last
time I was there, the rangers were limiting the number of people on the
deck. If the salmon are running, down river will most likely be void of
bears.

We’ll be going back North in 2020, it is too early to book but I have been
looking at a 2-3 night lodge stay at Brooks Falls…
Even though the prime spots at the upper falls will likely be crowded, I
may get a little time there early or late in the day, plus along the river
further down. We’ll see. Meanwhile I have your shot fine Ken and others of
that genre to study and get my anticipation up!

Thanks for commenting Dan.
I understand that Katmai is visited alot more now then when you were
there. I've heard there are now comercial outfits bringing in tourists
for the day, making it alot more crowded. On my two visits the only way
to economically visit was to sign up for a package deal including a
couple of night stay at the lodge - there was no comercial outfits
offering day trips.

The January PUG is disappointingly small. but it includes some very fine
images indeed.
My favorite is Fishin with the Guys by Ken Waller. I was at that very
spot, at Brooks Falls, about 25 years ago. Like Ken, I was hoping for
that
classic shot of a salmon jumping into the mouth of a brown bear; like
him,
I was disappointed. In any event, this photo is a very pleasing and
evocative rendition of an unforgettable place and event.
My second favorite is Which Is My Cap? by Henk Terhell. The repeating
pattern is hypnotic, and the result is quite effective in every respect.
