Exclamation Anyone with a boat on the NSR in Edm. Want to help a stranded fisherman?

I just spent an hour climbing down a treacherously steep cliff to go do some sturgeon fishing on the North Sask just south of the legends golf course. I lost a sandal on the way down and I have no idea how i'm going to get back up without stepping on a needle. I know this sounds crazy , but is there anyone fishing today on the North Sask in the are who could perhaps scoop me up and drop me off just downstream? My phone is almost dead so I won't be answering to these posts because it'll drain my cell but if you can help me please shoot me a text at 780-232-6456! It would be very much appreciated. If I don't reply to you then know i'll be here until at least 3 before I attempt to claw my way out. I'm the guy with the Grey T shirt and the blue camp chair. Thanks I advance to any of those who may be able to help.

I managed to flag down a couple canoeing downstream and got a ride. They even gave me a lift back to my car! Thanks to those who bumped this thread, much appreciated. It's nice to know there are still some very kind strangers out there!

Lesson learned: if you can hardly climb down... you probably can't climb out! Also... wear proper footwear haha.

Mods: you can take this down if you wish.

Sadly no.. I did however catch enough seaweed to feed a small village. Had I seen that post about how terrible the NSR is right now I would have just slept in!
