I am new to the forum, but thought I would chime in to wish you a speedy recovery and glad that you are alive to do so. Just read an article today that the bears in Yellowstone are particularly hungry due to the shortage of whitebark pine cones. http://tinyurl.com/2brfnow
My good friend was attacked in '08 by a grizzly in an Anchorage. This article was about her. http://tinyurl.com/25tgj4r
Best to you and hopefully you'll be casting soon.
