Safe Wading

When wading down a large river and needing to get back across the river to your car at the end of the day frequently one finds himself in water too deep to cross. Don’t take a chance by trying to cross deep fast water. It is better to go back upstream and cross where you came in.

On steep mountain streams it is easy to fish up into a very deep canyon where getting up the walls to hike back down to your car could be very dangerous. A better ploy would be to wade back down the stream until you get out of the deep canyon.
