Why was he wearing waders in the first place? That spot is safe if you don’t venture far from the bar. I feel sorry for anyone passing away like that, but man that’s some serious inexperience.

He may have been wearing waders but that was not the issue or I would have died many deaths.

Water in waders that are submerged has neutral buoyancy, swimming takes a bit more effort but they will not pull you down.

As long as you dont panic you can swim or tread water without too much difficulty for a short distance, the bitch is getting back in the boat or blind.

Hated to hear about this. Terrible.

Probably because you're more likely to get an infection from the dirty arse water than drown.

I expected the wader debate to happen. I wade fish a lot and always wear them myself around here.
