About 7 or 8 years ago, I drove up to fish the Harrison River in B.C. for chums. I was going to fish by myself in my 14' Lund(20 h.p.) As I was ready to launch at Kilby, another angler was taking out in his 20' sled. He told me he couldn't make it upriver because of the waves(rollers). It was very windy and the river level was higher than I had ever seen it. I had just driven 3 hours and was not going to turn around and go home. It was slow going and the waves were awful, my boat was bow light so I was banging each wave. With one wave a huge gust of wind hit the bow at the same time. The boat went right up and was nearly perpendicular to the water. I stood up quickly and with my hands pushed the boat back down, it nearly flipped. I had no life jacket on and was wearing chest waders Made it to shore, caught 2 or 3 chums, worked my way back to the launch and went home. I still get butterflies in my stomach when I think about it.
