What Island are you talking about below the falls, I don't recall?
Are you talking about the island just below the boat launch on the left? I didn't know it got that shallow there?
Heres my .02 cents: "Be prepared to fall" Accidents DO happen. There are soooo many fisherman out there with huge EGOS that they will refuse to the end to wear a pfd or use a wading stick.
I've got this PFD:

You don't even know you have it on and there is zero obstruction!
