Bitterroot claims another

Fly shop owner Dick Galli died in a rafting accident on the Bitterroot River on Wednesday. His boat overturned when they ran into some wood in a particularly tricky stretch of the river on the south end of Hamilton.

The Bitterroot is running about 2,700 cfs at the Darby gauge right now. That's way to high to fish, and makes the wood-laden Bitterroot especially treacherous.
