northfork Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 I'm just wondering if any of you have a system of relieving yourself out of your float tube instead of going into shore. I hate kicking to shore when the action is hot. Kick over, take off your flippers, take off your vest, undo your waders, pull them down, then repeat the process to get going again. Now I'm not saying I want to just whiz in a lake but do you guys have any tips? There has got to be a better system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyW Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 Don't drink 3 cups of coffee on the drive to the lake. I was watching the Indy 500 yesterday and wondered how they do it as well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crowsnest Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 I suppose you could shove a bottle into your waders and you could pee into it like some truckers do, but what do you do with the bottle ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ÜberFly Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 Get front zip waders... It'll cost you a few hundred $'s, however P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

headscan Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 Get front zip waders... It'll cost you a few hundred $'s, however P You'd still have to kick back to shore with those. Catheter? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jayhad Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 Redington CPX waders have a front zipper that goes down below your nuts, if you are in a fishcat or similar tube you can undo the zipper and still be out of the water. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trailhead Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 In my float tube I sit too low for front zip waders so I need to go to shore, I recall someone who said they rigged up a kind of hose and just let her rip into the lake. I suppose you could go the astronaut route and do the depends thing. But the neoprenes I wear are pretty tight so I don't think an adult diaper would fit.

bhurt Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 Be a man and just piss in your weighters, the plus side to it you'll be warm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishfreak Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 I've done that in a rental wetsuit when I'm scuba diving, but I wouldn't wanna piss in my own waders. It would be too much of a pain to wash off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 420FLYFISHIN Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 i run the same set up as Jay and im confident i can take a piss and stay dry but only because of the fishcat keeping my ass 3" above the water. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monger Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 Just roll your waders down, arch your back, pull the little rod up and let 'er fly. We often fish hundreds of yards from shore so the idea of kicking in isn't that great. You will get good at it after a while (decreasing the spillage ). This technique was developed by Sundancefisher. You should see the video on Youtube!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seen a homeless guy in a wheelchair doing this a month ago when I was walking downtown after work.. perfect arch right into one of those grates at the base of the "sidewalk trees".. I had mixed feelings about the whole situation.. on the one hand, he most likely is paralyzed from the waist down.. that must suck when you gotta go! On the other hand.. could you not wheel around the side of a building or something instead of going right in the middle of the sidewalk!?
