Eagle Creek Accident

Not much coverage of this accident on Eagle Creek. Anyone know more about the outcome? I hope everyone is OK. It would not be hard to slip and fall at that location.

Another reminder for bank fisherman to be careful on those rocks on the rivers. They can be very slippery. Espescially those rock ledges that drop off right into the water.

Is there another link to this? I'm not a registered user. I heard about this, is it the one with the 21 year old and his dad. Sounds like a bad deal for sure. It's not the only one this year though, another guy was life flighted from the hatchery earlier this year after he lost his footing in the creek. Don't know if he drown or not. All this was from the guy that owns the land right there at the hatchery.

There was a little blurb about it today in the Oregonian.
Apparently, the guy sustained a serious head injury when he fell off the fish ladder. Critical condition. :depressed:
