i have to admit - i only shoot doubles -and i like cork blocks - but i do like the new breathable waders

my last set of the old school waders went out the door one year when my then young daughter was watching me get my gear ready for the season opener. she sat there quietly watching me go over the old waders and finally spoke up "Dad, do you know you just put a small patch on a big patch"

[C.O.B.]

Back in the day when I did hunt ducks and fished stream trout I bought a pair of the new high tech neoprene waders. I looked like Gumbe. The first time out a hidden snag ripped a hole in them, it was a cold day on the marsh.

With having a place in the upper peninsula I keep telling myself I'll get back into trout fishing and buy a quality set of waders but I keep shooting sporting clays instead and buying quality shotguns. Oh well I guess it could be worse.
