Prior to this mission I had only spent about 15 minutes doing some optional fishing which I found boring as I only caught a couple of fish in that time. Fast forward onto the mission highlighted in the title where you have to catch a salmon to coax the bear.......
How long did it take me to HOOK a fish at that spot? 1.5 HOURS. I tried different sides of the bank but to no avail despite seeing the fish leaping about close by. I then began walking backwards with the rod still in the water and guess what? I hooked one straight away. I've tried this with the Ragnar mission since and every time I've used this tactic the fish gets immediately hooked. The rod breaks regularly on this mission but that's another story.
Even though I spent 1.5 hours with this and was getting a bit pissed at that time, I can laugh about it now, then this happened.......
I arrive at the place where the bear's at, give him the salmon and kill all the peggies who are coming at me from all angles - but where's the bear gone? I can't find him.
The mission is registered as incomplete but I'm not getting any of the instructions on what to do next.
No, I don't mean the mission description in the journal. I mean the actual on-screen instructions in-game. At the top-left of the screen. What does it say there?Instructions are "Wade wants you to go and find and rescue Cheeseburger, the missing bear"
Look at this video. At 2:04 it says "Find Cheeseburger" in the top-left of the screen. What does it say in your game?

I've just loaded up the game and saw these instructions in the top left corner which very briefly appeared.
"Give Cheeseburger fresh salmon"
"Find Cheeseburger"
I missed the fresh salmon instruction previously so I guess this is what I have to do. I actually went back to the river before to try this but due to time constraints and the rod snapping I didn't manage to catch one.
