Missing guide is Robert Merrill from Three Rivers Ranch.

Sober reminder that being in, on, or around the water (fresh or salt) can be dangerous.

This is old news, his body was recovered 2 days later. Many of you may know Rob as " idahofisher" on several forums, or as shop staff at Premier Fly . This is a very tragic event that took the life of a seasoned veteran guide in the course of his daily work. Please don't ever take moving water for granted, it grades on very harsh curve.

Make me want to never take a float again. That sucks, I feel for his family.

How about a wading belt and a life vest!!! Probably a much better out come. Still sad.

I agree with LD,, tragic event this was,, but his life could have been saved by wearing a light weight PFD. I never float my clients without them wearing a mustang PFD.
