I ran into this at the Chehalis a few years back. You would never think that this could happen at the Chehalis River of all places. A land slide came down in the canyon as we were fishing down the hatchery area. At one point, I noticed the water dropping like crazy and smolts jumping around in puddles of water. We were across the hatchery and I had a bad feeling about it. We quickly cross the river and just minutes later, the river broke through the slide and came rushing down. We escaped that day!!!! Really scary how things can change within minutes. Go with your gut instinct.

Thanks for the message and so glad you made it out, the lost equipment can be replaced, you can not.

I always told my young sons, when on any body of water, remember and think about it, the water can be very unforgiving and can claim your life at any time.
