Description

This incident was already reported, however it only lists one fatality. There were two people and two kayaks. They recovered the second body on 29 April. I doubt we will ever know all the details. The reports talk about a fish ladder. I have canoed that section, and I don’t recall a fish ladder. It has been possibly 20 years since I paddled there. https://www.oregonlive.com/pacific-northwest-news/2022/04/rescuers-find-body-of-second-missing-kayaker-in-long-tom-river.html https://www.kezi.com/news/body-of-second-missing-kayaker-found-on-long-tom-river-south-of-monroe/article_bdb99b3c-c80e-11ec-bb9e-8379736d4064.html
