hatman Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 I have a couple of well used waders that I have repaired too many times and they still leak so I have bought new ones. Question now is what do I do with these older ones as it bothers me to chuck them in the garbage? ANy options would be apreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TerryH Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 I know someone who cuts the feet off their old waders and uses them as rain pants. Probably not too stylish, but it probably works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
screaminreel Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 I'm with TerryH. Don't throw them out. Give them away so someone can use as rain pants. I have an old pair of Wardell's that I did the same thing and they work great when lake fishing from the pram. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ÜberFly Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 You can cut out the neoprene booties and gravel guards and use those for wet wading (if you do that)... P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trailhead Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 There is a place on 11th Ave and 11 St SW called Spirit West and they recycle that all kinds of equipment, I'm sure they would take the waders.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weedy1 Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 I think you should have them bronzed, mounted on a nice base, then placed next to the Bow River in one of the cities nicer parks in order to signify the importance of fly fishing to many Calgarians. You can then bill the City a half a million dollars for your work. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
