Waders and emergecy dunking.

[flygoddess]

Sorry about the near death experience, but I am glad Leaky posted this. People are quick to blame the waders.
I would advise also, when fishing rivers to ALWAYS wear a belt and have it tight.
There is neutral buoyancy in waders full of water. the weight outside the waders is the same as inside...while you are in the water.
However, when you change the equal ratio, it is like lifting a glass of water out of a sink full.
Undertows could drag you down even if you are not wearing waders (I found that out as a child in the Snake).

To try to stay calm is a tough one but in truth, the answer. relax and try to keep your head above.


Thanks again to all for this very important information.
