He made it to the bank and I took off for the rest of his gear (that floated). Ended up getting everything except for his two poles that sank immediately. I had snapped one of the two poles I brought earlier in the day and didn't have the heart to fish in front of him after sinking (literally) about $300 worth of gear. Made for a pretty crazy day with no fish caught, but we did have a great excuse to make a run to Sportsman’s Warehouse after we dried off. There's always next time....

*Note to self* Do not go on the Elkhorn when the water is running fast and up to fish because the above will happen. Especially if your new to paddling. The Elkhorn is a class 1 to class 3 or 4 when the water is up. Just be glad that fishing equipment is all you guys lost.
