Year of the C.O.Y.
"Cubs of the Year". They start out no taller than a gull, and nearly double in size at the end of a good season.
2025 saw record-breaking salmon numbers starting in mid-June, lasting well until late September. We saw an unprecedented increase in females seeking out mates, and were delighted to see them all gain significant weight such that we expect most of them to carry cubs to be born spring 2026. Come visit Brown Bear Bay to witness the Great COY Boom of 2026.
Summer 2027 - Booking Soon
Year of the Yearling
"Yearlings" are cubs who are entering their second summer, having just celebrated their 1-year birthday. They're bigger, more confident, and starting to test their size.
We hope a great number of cubs from the COY Boom of 2026 survive into the summer of 2027. We're looking forward to seeing these cubs grow & watching Mama Bear teach them the bear necessities to survive in this bearadise.
