spring bear with a little fishing?

[kurthunter]

Hey all. I've only ever hunted in AB and would like to do some fishing this year during my spring bear hunt. How many of you guys and gals make a fishing/hunting trip? Any tips for fishing the Berland River as I have never fished before only hunting! thanks

I have never had much luck on the streams and rivers in the early spring. Water levels are often high and the water is dirty. But I’ve never regretted a day I went stream fishing even if I didn’t catch anything lol.

When I’ve fished the Berland I’ve had the best luck in the later half of summer.
