Montana Fishing Guide Killed

A fishing guide was killed in a rafting incident on the East Fork of the Bitterroot River in Montana.

Dave Dedmon, 53, of Corvallis, a former sheriff's deputy, police officer, was apparently scouting the river for an upcoming fishing trip. He owned and operated Montana Flywater Co.

Dedmon and his wife were floating down the river when their raft was sucked into a snag, which unseated the pair and flipped the raft. The couple hung onto the raft before it hit another log. His wife was pulled from the river by some kids, but Dedmon wasn't retrieved from the river until farther downstream.

Despite CPR at the scene and en route to the hospital, Dedmon was pronounced dead at the hospital.
