So sorry for your loss, I too had a fishing partner that lost his life in the Wynoochee, so very sad for such a young life.

Don't know Joey, don't know Neon, don't know Zach, but I was thinking...
What should people on this great forum do to honor Joey and his family? How about a day of nice things to say about fishin? How about day after tomorrow, that would be January 16th I think.
By nice things to say, I mean no craop on that day, just thinking about this guy, and what if it had been you or me?
Thanks directdrive for letting us know of the loss of a young fisherman.

" My name is Zach and I am the kids friend. His name is Joey! The story is, we were tryin to cross a tail out, when we started to cross it dropped off an water started coming in my waders, I then started to get taken of my feet but I was fortunate, and was able to get to shore, Joey true taking a step back towards the shore, and the current swept him off his feet. I ran down the bank as fast as I could trying to keep an eye on him, but the water was pushing him faster then I could run! He went down 2 sets of rapids. The last spot I saw him was a deep boily hole, I saw my friend get sucked in the boil and never come up! Today has to be one of the worst days of my life, my thoughts and prayers go to his family!"

Very sad to hear. Without knowing the family, I offer my best wishes and condolences for their loss. It is hard to lose anyone, but particularly more so at such a young age.
I tell my family and friends; if this were to happen to me, at least it was at a time of pursuing what I love most.

Really sad news. Condolences to family, friends and Zach, his fishing companion. I pray they will be able to find/recover Joey tomorrow.

Sad indeed, you will be in our thoughts and hearts.
To the young man that was with him, you sound like a good friend that did everything you could in a very dangerous situation, take some solace that you did what you could and were there til the very end.

Sad as hell.
Zach, I am sorry you had to say goodbye to your friend like that.
I had a good friend die on the river but I wasn't there at that time and I constantly wonder what it looked like and how it went down but than again actually being a witness has to be a lot tougher.
It is good that you can talk about it Zach and don't be angry. Nobody and I mean nobody is getting out of here alive. It is better to thank God for knowing him than be angry at God for taking him away.

It's always hardest for those left behind. My prayers right now are for Joey's family and friends, especially for Zach, in their time of loss. I think all of us that have spent any time on a river know how quickly this sort of thing could happen. Sadly it's a sober reminder to keep our loved ones in mind as we do the things we love. Be safe out there and get back home.
