Well after work I headed up to a river to fly fish in my chest waders. I was told that in the deep spots I would get up to my chest. So I went down stream no problems landing some nice smallies saw a dogfish go after one of the small ones after I hooked it. But he was not interested in my fly. I was getting a little dehydrated so
I went to cut across the stream and me and the other guy went from knee deep water to over my head in 2 steps. I tried to back up but it was too late the current got a hold of me and I was doing everything I could to keep my head….and camera above the water. I did manage to get out alright and my camera is fine. But this has been my fear for some time and I never even had time to panic I am glad of that too. I was joking about it on the way home but what a scare! Just remember don’t panic! I think I would not have made it if I had paniced I got the Idea to use my rod as a pushpole to get me to shore. Just needed to get that off of my chest …..thanks guys.
