Something missing in the bear discussion is the prevention part. The best way to avoid bear encounters is to avoid attracting them to your campsite in the first place.

Bears have an incredible sense of smell and are attracted by food related odours. Once they associate campsites with food then everyone has a potential bear problem in the future in that campground.
When on the trail or fishing, let the bears know you are around by making noise. Don't leave fish sitting on the ground nearby should you catch some.
