fish stink in bear country

Any thoughts on keeping fish-stink free when backcountry fishing in bear country?

Thanks,
Bob

I just do my best to wash up – but I’ve never washed the rod or fishing tackle.

I usually carry some wet wipes & a vial of dr. bronners for washing me.

most of my backpacks with fishing are above treeline & haven’t even seen bears. maybe just been lucky.

if i were in grizzly country, I think I’d worry more & probably would wash the rod & tackle.

Bob,

Here is a short video regarding bears and fishing that may be helpful.

Yep! Combat salmon fishing in Alaska! I think I’ve seen that brown bear!
