I was fly fishing on Putah Creek by access 5 on Saturday. Water was running high and the places to fish were few.  I was walking along the the upper bank and saw a potential spot so i worked my way down the hill to the water.  The bank looked solid as I walked up then it gave way taking me with it. i twisted backwards which is good because I ended up in the slack water instead for the faster water and getting carried into a strainer. as I fell I felt my fibula break.  I crawled back onto the bank and was actually able to gingerly weight my leg.  One of the guys I was with saw me go down and helped me make it back to my truck where I took off my waders and boots, splinted my ankle ad drove to Kaiser Vacaville.  They reset my leg and cast it. Spiral fracture of the Fibula and two small fractures of the Tibia. The tibia was also displaced from the joint.  tomorrow I get screws and plates and get to do nothing for 6 freaking weeks.  Stay safe out there



i went in by the big trees on the right

Fishing can be a pain in the ass and ego, guess this is the ego part, stay strong, follow doctors orders even if YOU disagree, recover fast and remember even sitting in a chair you can fish.... as long as you got a homie that will drag your layed up arse, gear, and chair to the pier to fish. Sending you long distance thoughts for a quick and painless (Rum and coke) recovery.

No bueno  :smt009

Sorry to hear a similar thing happened to me about this same time last year. Was out of work for 100 days.....

Sucked bad but all healed now. Wishing you a speedy recovery.

Ouch! Hope it all goes well and you're on the road to recovery soon.

On the positive side, good thing you're not a horse!

I've had nearly that same break. My ankle still clicks pretty loud but doesn't hurt at all. The ligments never fully tightened up so I have to hike with high top boots or a brace to support the "loose" ankle. Make sure to do your PT! haha I was young and dumb (still am?)!

Sorry to hear about surgery but I hope you heal well. Perhaps a "go fund me" for one of these beastly chairs could be in your future :smt007
