I spaced on this one, was doing a summer float w/ a Forks guide we had the Puma anchored in about 4' & were pitching into some deeper water. He looks straight down & says "that chunk of wood looks like a gunstock..."

I look down thru the current & see it.. "Yeah it does & it has a recoil pad on it !"

Long story short he fished it out w/ a spare oar thou the water was right @ the top of the chest waders.

Add river gravel fitted into every nook & cranny and it looked a lot like this.



You can guess what the bluing looked like by end of the drift.
