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...
