    Stranded fisherman rescued, hangs onto new fly rod 

    Somebody should give this guy a rod sponsorship.

    Priceless. The grip looks broken. At the very least they should wave the repair fee!

    Wow, I guess you got to know how deep and swift you can wade in. He got lucky!

    I think he not only is holding on to the rod, but a wading stick. I think the rod is safe.

    The guy has his priorities straight.... save the rod,... and demostrate why you shoud have a good belt on your waders--less one becomes an anchor. Yep,..give him a half hour on cable....
