Title: Lessons not learned
Post by: bcguy on September 06, 2010, 08:17:06 AM

So after all the stories of fisherman drowning this season this amazed me. Never having seen it before, a friend and myself took a walk down to Scale bar, and I saw a sight that shocked me. The only really accessible good water, had about 20 or 30 guys in waders, some out to their armpits...ON THE FRASER...these guys are NUTS.

Youll see stuff in sockeye mania that you would never see anywhere else.

Up to their armpits, with the fish swimming behind them. Dumb !

Hahaa good one. When you're in or near water always think about safety and the people around you. They will never learn.
