This is a beautiful stretch of water but the tidal pull of the river causes drastic shifts in the bars. There are times when you can get fifty yards out but that can and does, change quickly. Most of the wade fisherman at night are well schooled but it is still easy to get in trouble. A PFD can be a life saver....worth carrying it around 1200 times for the one time you NEED it.

I cannot imagine the horror of being swept away thinking, "Dear God, not like this!" And it happens every year to at least one of us.
