    God the timing on your educational video is perfect... Yesterday NW Montana trying to cross the river, lost my footing, was slept away in the current. Below me, roughly 50-yards was a sweeper entanglement root log jam... I knew it was a death sentence, 67-years old, good sharp, swam like a scared SOB to the other side, made it exhausted. My wader belt was not tight enough, wader's full, went head-under several times, no vest... Was glad to see the sky again. Rudder boots, I did have a support stick, water was 8" above my knees... Lost my fly rode, go pro, camera, cell phone, didn't care, so scared to death... Bless You, X 2... Love your channel, hands-on for the everyday, real guy outdoorsmen...

    20yrs ago I was standing in the middle of the Muskegon river and the dam a mile and a half up river opened 2 of the spillway gates due to rain that morning.( I was far enough downstream that I didn't hear the sirens) I ended up ditching my waders and finally found the bank a quarter mile downstream. I thought I was a goner. Luckily it was June and the water wasn't freezing cold. I lost my waders but I hung onto my $350 rod and reel setup and I walked out alive. Be safe out there, not everyone makes it outta these situations alive.

    I commonly cross a pretty swift river, your video was on point. The wading stick is a game changer when you start using one. Always make sure you're foot or stick is firmly planted before moving the other. Slow and steady wins that race. Thank you for spreading this information. Everyone stay safe out there, and catch some big ones!

Like Jordan said, every situation is different, but these are some crucial tips that everyone should know.

  • @murpesx
    @murpesx Před 4 lety +1

    Fantastic video! Nothing like going out to CZcams for a safety refresher on wading only to find that one of your favorite fishing channels just posted one!
    Two points I'd add: Beginners should start with hip waders, because if you do fall in they're easy to unsnap and kick off, like you were swimming. Also, if ever you do get overwhelmed, no gear, no matter how expensive, is worth your life. Let it go and worry about getting to safety!

  • @thomasstarr9142

    Yeah buddy! Think about water depth changing unexpectedly, also. I was fishing an island a few years ago and water looked like it started rising but it was hard to tell. Went back to cross where I had a couple hours previous and the water was easily a foot higher and rippin! About lost it a few times, but had no other place to cross, that was real sketchy. I think the dam started letting water out for an upcoming rain storm. Lesson learned!

  • @nicksearles3996

    @williamb1791 Před 4 lety

    My Dad always told me to never lift your feet as you cross the river, always slide your feet along the top of the rocks and when you place your foot down, find a crack between the rocks and then you have a good plant. That way the current doesn't take your foot down river either when crossing in stronger current.

    On the rivers I fish, I would be swimming if I used this method exactly as demonstrated. It's probably my age lol. The way you fully commit to each step; I've done that and it has cost me. I have to reach with each step and find a solid spot before fully committing the step. I think my rivers have just the wrong sized rocks, plus, my age, plus poor hearing= poor balance. I'm still thankful for what I do have. GREAT video though, honestly.
