Wet Wading

[jaybo41]

The advantage I see with wet wading as opposed to wearing wading boots is that its much cooler when hiking and moving around outside of the water to get to your spot. This is ideal for small streams. If I'm going to be standing in water for any length of time, I'll be wearing my waders. Like fishidiot said, it's nice to be able to zip off the legs of your pants, put sandals on and drive home. If I am spending any appreciable time in the woods its longsleeve shirt and pants for me. Lessens the chances for ticks along with avoiding skin contact with the summer plant growth.

I didn't either until last week. The lightweight wading pants are way cooler, and also allow you to actually get wet to cool off. I tried breathable waders for about an hour in the high deserts in and around the bighorn, and sweated every ounce of water in my body out within a few minutes.

I'll be wearing them for all warm weather fishing from now on.
