It's sad this happened. It should make us all think. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the family.

The Sunday morning recovery of Mr Jarzynka happened not far from my house. We are lucky out here to have such dedicated 1st responders. I drove over the bridge as they were wading into the water below the bridge.

Later in the day I was fishing upriver and had a Rescue Helicopter fly over my head searching the river. When I went to leave about 3:15 or so there were multiple 1st responder vehicles & personnel at the launch above Bear Creek. This is where there might be confusion. The Forks Forum said the 2 situations were separate and they would post more details when they had them. I have yet to see an update from the Forum.

At this point I have not been able to find any information about a 2nd person being lost. Not sure if the morning response and the afternoon response were related.

Be careful out there. Mother Nature is a powerful, unforgiving force at times.
