bloom Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 http://www.medicinehatnews.com/article_5932.php The radio was saying that he was from Calgary. Scary thing is that a few people off this board (who I've never met) had emailed me and said they would be fishing it this week. Will have to wait for more news.

Flytyer Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 There is also a small write up on the CTV Calgary web page as well....no released details of yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OneMoreLastCast Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 That's terrible. It brings up a good point on live preservers though. I've actually been mocked while wearing mine in my pontoon. Mine fits and doubles as a vest, so I hardly notice I'm wearing it. Let's hope the Old Fella is somewhere where the fish never stop biting and the wind never blows.

Maximum Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 Heard about it this morning. Too bad. RIP On unrelated sad news, stay off Deerfoot southbound at 17th ave. All closed as there is a huge diesel spill. I pray none gets into the river. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawgstoppah Posted June 2, 2007 Share Posted June 2, 2007 Sad story. I guess if I had to write a script of how I'd want to go... it'd be when I am older and somewhere enjoying a day of fishing and feeling at peace with the world..... RIP buddy....

hydropsyche Posted June 3, 2007 Share Posted June 3, 2007 it'd be when I am older and somewhere enjoying a day of fishing and feeling at peace with the world..... Amen. But whatever takes me, I hope I don't see it coming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flytyer Posted June 3, 2007 Share Posted June 3, 2007 Anyone hear who it was? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
esleech Posted June 3, 2007 Share Posted June 3, 2007 I agree. Very sad. I almost hope that the details are NOT released. The obsession with the macabre these days confuses me. Although, at times, details of an incident serve as awareness pertaining to safety issues. My condolences to the family of this fisherman.
