I hear you on the canoe ride thing. I lost a very nice Daly O/U off my canoe gunnels in a 6ft deep pool in a creek up here in late September once. Had to strip down and dive for it... Oh boy! I did some serious runnin around and dancing when I got out. Didn't hurt the gun at all. Just had to take it apart and dry it out. I'd put in and float this small creek jumping mallards then take out on a downstream road crossing and hitch hike a few miles back to my truck. I can tell you there's no faster way to get a ride up here than to walk down the road in hip boots with a pack full of ducks and shotgun broken open over your shoulder. Met some nice folks that way. I just hope that none of them went to where I told them I got the ducks, which was never 'quite' where I actually got them...!
