Lost Fly Boxes

[SamuelHoffe]

Hey guys,

Yesterday morning, I was fishing near the mouth of Fish Creek on the Bow River, just a little upstream. I was fighting a fish and got in too deep, panicked, and lost my footing. I got waterlogged and carried downstream a bit and in the process I lost both my fly boxes and a full season worth of flies. I'm grateful to be alive as the experience was really scary, especially since I couldn't really swim with waders full of water and a rod with a fish hooked. However, at the same time, it's major bummer having to replace all my flies. Both boxes were medium sized, clear, double sided Gaspe/MFC boxes. I saw one drifting and tried to chase it, but my waders were full of water and I was too exhausted to run after either of them. I suspect they likely drifted past the Stoney Trail bridge and are now somewhere downstream. If anyone happens to come across them, I would be forever grateful if they were returned. Thanks so much for your time guys.

Sam

Sucks big time but glad you are safe. Hell of an intro post. Welcome to FFC.

Exactly, the flies are ultimately replaceable and expendable anyways but I'm not. Thanks for the welcome!
