Where the heck are you fishing where you are seeing rocks scraped all up from studs?  I can honestly say I have never witnessed any of this on the small streams I fish.

My wife has accused me in the past of being very unobservant.

I see a lot more cairns than I see scraped rocks.  n!n

THIS.



Scraped rocks mean my ass was not busted.  I'll continue to scrape away.

I've seen stud skid marks on the Smith and SOHO, but much uglier than these, or cairns, are the plastic skid marks from those synthetic boats.  Plus they are always red or green.

I've seen it on a couple of different wild trout streams far away from the crowds

How do you guys feel about summer waders... Also known in some circles as assless chaps?

Orvis Access. 16 months old. I have three different pairs of wading boots. This one had less than 80 days of use. The sole separated on the one stream I fish where getting stuck in the foot could be pretty damn dangerous. 2 part epoxy got me through the day.

I posted a shitty review on the Orvis site. 24 hours later they were calling to arrange replacement.

It could have been worse. You saw the TR on the Drake. Tetanus, Staphylococcus, Streptococcus, Cholera (probably not) but plenty of hypodermic syringes to transmit.
