    Advice To Keep Feet Warm In Waders

    in Ask the Pros

    Posted

    I also found that a just a good pair of moisture wicking socks and a thick pair of very wooly socks works the best for me. If my boots are to tight then my feet get much colder much sooner! I have tried foot warmers but unfortunately they don't work, you need circulating air to heat them up.

    Stand Up Paddle Board Fly Fishing... Thoughts?

    I agree with you Vhawk12 ! I don't think SUPs are best used in rivers. The one thing that limits it from fishing in rivers is that in order to cast your rod you have to put the paddle down on the board between your feet. In rivers i think you would have to maneuver the board to much to have time to pick up your rod to cast and have a long drift. Unfortunately you have to place switch a-roo with either a rod in hand or your paddle.

    Best Reel In The $200-$300 Range

    I have used the BVK reel. I can honestly say i haven't had any problems with it and i have put that reel through ALOT and it still works as good as the day i got it. I did not find that this reel was very heavy, I had picked up a few to compare its weight and it was much lighter then most!

    From my personal experience I find nothing wrong with this reel

    Best of Luck

    Ok

    First of all this has absolutely NOTHING to due with anyone's gender. Were this a photo of a 68 year-old snaggle-toothed curmudgeon under otherwise identical circumstances I would have had the same reaction.

    Paula doesn't owe anyone an explanation or justification.

    I purposely left the context open to see if any other members noticed any incongruences. I asked my question because I have doubts about the photo and the information associated with.

    Specifically:

    - The fish in the photo is bigger than 19"

    - The photo appears to be altered

    - The poster doesn't specifically state that the fish was caught on a dry fly, who caught it, where, or even if it was caught by angling (don't see a hook, line, or rod). Yes, this is all irrelevant, but when I don't see any such information, I get suspicious. My problem, not anyone else's.

    - All we can see for sure is a person holding a large fish. This is, after all, the internet. Despite claims for or against, there is no actual way to prove anything.

    - Any one of these points could easily be shrugged, but all toled, makes a skeptic like me, well, more skeptical.

    So I'm skeptical - no excuse for my accusitory tone. Didn't mean to come across so harsh and I didn't realize this until after I posted and came back to the thread.

    Cheeers.

     

    Thank you Firefrog i found this post very comical!

    This fish is 19" I use a tape measure not an est. There is no true way to judge a size of a fish in a photo as u do not know the size of the subject who is holding the object. I have seen small fish posed in a way that make it look much bigger. The reason u dont see the rod is because the photo is up close. I can assure u that this fish was caught on a dry with 6x tippet on a popular Alberta river, there wouldn't be a reason for me to say otherwise .. I will even give u a tip! Terrestrial flies can be very productive when there isn't much of a hatch happening.

    I didn't know a simple photo would cause u so much confusion .. But As you said .. Your a Skeptic and there isn't anything i can say to change that.

     

    Thanks again everyone, my friend takes amazing photos! I hope to head back down there again before it closes if this weather decides to be a little more cooperating!

    Huh? Sorry, but I'm calling BS on that photo for several reasons. Don't mean to offend you, but what are you trying to accomplish here? Having a little fun with us? That's OK. Good sense of humor.

    Cheers.

     

    I am a bit confused by this response , I honestly don't know what ur talking about but please feel free explain to me what you mean. (Next time i will crop my face out that way there is no confusion)

     

    I agree with you Dave i don't think hes used to Women fishing and if that is so then I guess i can understand why he would say something like that. But on that note I am fortunate to fish with some incredible Female anglers so there are a lot more of us then you think. If you bump into me on the river firefrog feel free to say hello! Firefrog I will also add that the purpose of posting the photo was to show that there are a few good size and healthy cutthroats out there... you just have to look for them.

    Waders Question

    in General Chat - Fishing Related

    Posted

    I can give a Perspective that might be useful .

    I have been fortunate to try the Woman Redington waders and now have a pair of Woman's Simms. Both are great waders. The Redington has some good woman's sizing and would be great to try out. If your willing to spend a little extra money i would say go for the Simms. They have sizing's that fit all body types. From what you described her as i would go for the Simms headwaters Short Full Waders as they would probably fit her more comfortably.

    Hope this helps!
