CHILLIWACK (NEWS1130) – Hip-waders are being blamed for the death of a fisherman in the Chilliwack river yesterday.
Mounties say the man was swept under the surface after his waders filled with water, and that made him too heavy for on-lookers to pull him to shore.
Police are urging everyone to take extra care around the river, saying it is extremely fast-moving and very cold.
