Geologist Craig Horlacher went out for an afternoon of solo fly fishing back in August 2010. Just into the beginning of his afternoon he managed to take a wrong step and both badly break his leg and get it stuck. Due to his injury and the way his foot was stuck, he was unable to leave the river.
Craig thought it might take two days for rescue. SIX, that's right six days later, rescuers found him delirious and babbling, leaning against three rocks he’d stacked up.
He gave the Denver Post an interview on the ordeal last week.

If he had been forced to cut his foot off he probably would have landed a big book and movie deal.
Ethan Smith took his 6 year old son on a fishing excursion and a new fly fisherman was born.
