[QUOTE="26Reload, post: 3029780, member: 99519"] As a steelhead driftboat guide had a couple scares.... .....side drifting bait in a big swirly hole..boat sliding along a big jagged boulder..guy on left decided to lean over to the left side of boat..chine catches a sharp piece of the Boulder and swings the bow of the boat to the left..raising the left bottom of the boat..while the right side takes 15 gallons of water over the side...I had to jump to the left to allow the right side up......about 3 seconds is all that took........ .....motoring up through some shallow water to get back to boatramp.... grounded the motor out in the gravel....shallow fast water threw us into low hanging willows......didn't break any rods......took a lot of limbs in the head and body...... .....a client and i rescued some guys off a Boulder in a shallow nasty spot.....their driftboat was sunk right in the eddy of the boulder......had to go past them...hike back up the riverbank...tossed them end of rope and tied it around themselves... glad the guy I had with me that day was big...played offensive guard at OSU(Beavers).....we told the guy to jump towards us as far as he could as we jerked him to within 5 feet of the riverbank.......he still went in over his head but didn't get sucked under the current.... Next guy did the same....I guess the third guy floated down around the corner.....got out...... Their boat got really lucky to...was winches up the 70' hill....that night it rained hard enough to raise the river 20'.... [/QUOTE]
