That's really unfortunate. Most likely a shad fisherman right?

Could be and there are a lo of folks fishing illegally, especially on the VA shore. Also, there are a lot of throw netters down there nowadays. If you make an errant throw, you can go in with it.

Sad to hear. River is no joke there.

It's not as high as it was, but's still up there some and nasty. I've been checking it over crossing the American Legion bridge on the way home from work. Not conditions I'd bother with.

Even when the river is normal or low in that area...it screams! The hydraulics are fierce. You go in and you get sucked under...sad.

Search called off after no body found...yet.
