As I may have mentioned before, I go fishing a lot.  My most ambitious and exciting annual adventure is a trip to the Dean river on the central coast of BC.  Several years ago I was camped about 30 km up the river with four friends.  We had chartered a helicopter to get there and set up our camp by the river in a very remote location surrounded by beautiful wilderness and a few fortunately well-fed grizzly bears.
