Well, I have gone several times. Like Murf, I
guess I have always felt I could go where no man should go and learn that I
shouldn't.
One memorable time for me was once when I was
fishing in the Uintas in Utah in the winter. My wife dropped me off at a
spot and she went up to a dam which is very beautiful in the spring and they
wanted to see it in the snow of winter. Just after they left I got in the
water and the current pushed me into a hole -over my head. They would be
gone for a couple of hours and I was soaked. I was in the mountains with a
good amount of snow on the ground. I had levis on (say stupid) and polar
fleece on top. I swam out of the river, emptied the water from the waders,
and stripped. I wrung out the clothes and put them back on. I looked
around and - well there was nothing. I thought well the river is probably
not any colder than the outside air temperature so I got back in the river and
fished until she returned. It was then I became a polar fleece
advocate. Even wet I stayed warm on top. Levis well - they are great
when dry. I did catch several fish. And I started carrying an extra
set of clothes whenever I fish.
