Definitely watch out for burgs on the river. When I was out I saw some that would easily take a grown man out and there would be nothing you can do about it.
I usually try to fish spots where I can stand on shore and not have to worry about that. But if a person does wade out into the water, you must be continuously watching upstream for what could be coming your way. Sometimes they are not easy to see either as the majority of the burg is submerged.
Last year was my first time in the river in the winter months. While I was standing there I felt something bump into my leg. Scared the $&!% out of me. Luckily it was just a small piece. After that I started watching upstream and noticed some larger ones that would easily take me out.
Be safe all and good luck.
Cheers,
