i cannot stop thinking about this incident. so horrible. unfortunately, he did not make it. it was very sad to see as the red 4x4 drove buy with the firefighters and paramedics in the back doing the best they can, and knowing he would probably not make it.

I give credit to all the people who helped out. It's just sad to see it end like this.

It certainly will be a tough few days for all that were in this area today to see this tragic event.

 For all the ones that tried their best to save this angler including a number from this forum especially Thickrick you are to be congratulated for your attempts to revive him.

Thanks from all of us.

Today was a very sad day for me... the man passed away doing something he loved.. I have the image of him walking downstream with a huge smile on his face screaming FISH ON burned into my mind and it makes me smile whenever I think of it.... but I am sure he also left behind family and that makes me very sad !!!  watching his life slowly fade away was very difficult... he coughed a couple of times while I was performing CPR and I really thought that he was going to make it at one point... watching his friend hold his hand .......... I am having a hard time dealing with it today and I am having a hard time thinking about anything else .. I know there is nothing else we could have done... but ...... I am so sad for his family and if you read this I hope you understand that he passed very quickly.. I am sure he felt no pain.... and he died doing something he loved.. I hope these facts help you cope in some way.. you are in my prayers..

This sucks, all i think is about this guy watching what happened, its on my mind constantly cant sit here at home and do anything , just have this hole thing on my mind bugging me

I bet! It would be a hard thing to get out of your mind. What you could have done different, how things could have gone if you did somehting different.

It will take awhile to get over for sure. Just remember, if it was his time to go it was his time to go even with everyones help. Try to think of him cathcing all the sockeye he can is the Fraser in the sky, where he is the only one on the bar.

I guess what this also should remind us is to make certain that we leave home for a fishing day or just driving somewhere making sure that we tell those we love how important they are to us.  I too witnessed an accident on the Coq as I was returning home.  An elderlly man fell asleep at the wheel and went into an embankment.  Besides minow injuries he was ok but shaken up.  He was 83 and heading to a family get together!  We take our fragile lives for granted!  Are we sure that this man did pass away.  I have seen diabetics foam at the mouth and make it ok?  I hope he did.  If he didn't, maybe you guys can build a little rock monument in his hounour at the site just to remind people about the incident.  It does make you grow up fast!  But we forget too easily!

Does anyone know this persons name? I think that we ought to re-name seabird in memory of our fallen commrade.
