Unfortunately, the 72 year old fisherman has passed away. Please, if you are going to be out on the water, wear your PFD. There have already been 3 drownings up here in the Santiam Canyon. The water is still extremely cold, it is mountain snow run-off! The canyon community welcomes all the visitors, but dread the coming holiday because we know this is only the beginning and there will be more drowning victims throughout the summer.
