I was about 6 pools downstream from the Junction Pool when this
happened.
The water was big. I limited myself to mid-thigh wading, and
knee-level would have been much safer.

FWIW, everyone raved about the Roscoe emergency crew's response time.

Sorry to hear about Justin Everrett. I also wear chest waders and it
scares the heck out of me when fishing fast rivers.
The test that was done on waders here in roff really caught my
attention. I'm tempted to order one of those SOS Inflatable Floatation
Belt Pack.

I can agree that chest waders in swift waters scare the be-jeesus out of
me - A THIGHTLY chhinched belt helps prevent the inrush of water and
also traps air providing at least a modicum of boyency
