[quote chrome_junky]channel 8 did say his waders filled up with water. just goes to show you how many people underestamate that river i know i am guilty of it just as much as anybody.[/quote]
I'm not sure I understand this statement of "his waders filled up with water" is/was going.
I've slipped and fallen in the water more than once, had my waders get some water in them, but it doesn't cause you to sink in the water. It's neutrally buoyant (water) so it won't pull you down, unless you hit some submerged tree limbs, or a sweeper. If he had a wading belt on, which I'm sure he did, I wouldn't bet that that's the reason. Talking to friend who new him, what he had heard was he was trying to untangle his clients flyline from around the oar when he the accident happened. Wear your PFD and stay alive folks. Safety first and screw the fly line.
