In bear country, especially where grizzlies are known to frequent, I carry Bearshield bear spray in a holster attached to my wading belt. Bearshield is a restricted 225 gram aerosol repellent. In addition, I carry Tru Flare bear bangers. I make sure that I make plenty of noise. I have experienced a wilderness camp where a large black bear caused some damage while we were out fishing.

Do you carry personal protection while fishing remote areas? In what form? Spray, hand-cannon, etc.? DonO
