Bad news all around. Before people make assumptions I would take what the news says with a grain of salt. From my experience with some big accidents here in the valley I have learned that 9 times out of 10 they don't even come close to reporting what really occured. Thing I do notice is that very few people sport anytype of life jacket while up there.
This time of year and through november I'm on it prob 2 to 3 days a week and its a wonder we don't loose more. Lots of people floating from hole to hole, riffle to riffle and its a shock to see some one with a jacket on. For us the rule we follow these days is, you wanna go, put the jacket on, we've sprung the cash for the smaller inflatable jackets so you can float and still fish with em on.
End of the day its a
deal. We were up thursday evening while there were a ton of searching going on and I can honestly say I am glad we werent the people that found him. Tragedy for sure.
