Gear Reviews / Re: Wader Woes and Care

I've had Simms, Dan Bailey's, LL Bean, they are all going to leak sooner or later. Currently have Orvis Pros, always throw them in the back, never have hung them up to dry. Over 250 days of fishing - no problems! Would deff buy them again!

Gear Reviews / Wader Woes and Care

Last post by Fishbug - June 03, 2023, 21:11:15 PM

Ive always had cheap waders; my last set was going 3-4 yrs strong then progressively leaked.

Got some Simms; pants happen to be on sale too so got a replacement for my cheapo Cabelas pants (which overall held up well, but also leaked)

Used em for the 4th time and both boots leaking. 

Warranty will cover but got me thinking—-how do care for your waders post fishing? I've always just shoved them in the truck bed to dry and never had an issue. Even upgraded to a nice plastic container for these to keep them safer after. Is heat damage a thing?

Thinking these were duds otherwise Im going back to el cheapos.

I believe the garter snake is "poisonous". 

I'm going to need more details and reverences (WTF?) for this!

Just don't eat them!

Nice!

I had initially thought this was a dedicated fishing trip.

These photos will make me go fishing.  Kudos!

I wasn't IDing the snake, just pointing out that snakes are venomous not poisonous!

However, the rest of the trip report was excellent!

The Gravel Bar / Church of Weed

I might attend this church.  Weed and shrooms might persuade me to believe.
