My guide from the Bitterroot just sent me this awful story about a 74 YO FF drowning in the Bitterroot. I am considering using some sort of flotation device when wading big rivers and when rafting. Don't think I would wear one in a drift boat but after reading this story I think at my age I should wear one when rafting/pontooning with a guide. I would post this on "Gear Talk" but would rather get broader exposure here. I searched the issue before posting this and saw little discussion on the forums about the pros and cons of fishing with PFDs.
