So sad to hear this. We as sportsmen have got to learn from this and other incidents - and start wearing PFDs! I'm nowhere near 79 and have had 2 close call just this past month, and I'm an "experienced" wader and wade very cautiously. Fell down in knee deep current and darn near drowned.

I'm buying an inflatable PFD for my next wading trip. Please lets all consider doing the same.

What a tragedy!

You are right Yakfly. We do need to learn from such terrible things as this. For my next trip to the White I'm ordering one of those fishing vests that can transform into a PFD.
