Default Tailwater Wading Safety

Thw program at last Monday's Dallas Flyfishers Club Meeting was by Tom

Rogers
who is one of the premier guides on the White River in Arkansas. Great

guy. He
stressed safety more than any other guide that I have seen give a program

for a
couple of decades. One of his tips was to always wear a whistle on your

lanyard
as when the river suddenly rises you may be excited if you are trapped by
rising water, but that does not mean your voice will be heard over the

raoar of
an outboard motor. They will know you are there if you use a whistle.

Great
tip. Now where the hell did that boy scout whistle go 3 or 4 decades ago.
Thought It may be worth mentioning here as I don't do a lot of things as

good
as I did several decades ago. I have not checked, but would not be

surprised if
Uncle Waldo could not supply one that could save your ass.


Have fun out there, but don't find a way to get in trouble.

that's a damn good idea, especially for someone like myself since i do most
of my fishing alone. thanks...
