I'm glad to know there are others out there who feel my pain...the worst part of all this was there was a guy on the bank who was fishing and watching the whole thing materialize...he never said a word...just laughed.

The part I didn't add was that I tripped over a rock and fell in the river later that day...waders were full of 50 degree water. Even with all that it was good day to be on the water.
