Bear spotted swimming in New Melones- story courtesy Glory Hole Sports

On Tuesday August 12, 2014 Glory Hole Sports employee Sherryl Van Sanden and Dave Roberts were on the water trying their luck for some early morning bass fishing.  On the way from one spot to another they noticed a foreign object moving across the water.  

Not knowing what it was they boated near to find out...... it was a bear.  They were above the 49-bridge and the bear was swimming from the Calaveras to the Tuolumne side of the lake. The bear was moving and the boat was moving so the pictures are a little blurry.  Plus, I bet all three of them were a little excited.
