Waders in my humble opinion are a must, for both comfort and safety. I've herd the myth that chest waders are dangerous. That you'll get swept away in the current. I firmly disagree. Water weighs nothing in water. Hip boots by virtue of their bulk could make swimming difficult, however you could drown in street clothes just as easy as chest waders.
Personally, I think waders are a necessary part of your gear especially if your engaging in fall, winter, and spring fisheries. Even if you never step foot in the river, keeping dry in essential. Once you get wet it's difficult to retain your body heat and that can put you at risk of hypothermia.
Can someone tell me a good spot including:doesn't require getting wet(i think I get the point... :lol, not a giant hike, like the hike at riverside was a good distance, and a good chance of me getting my first salmon. Please? ray:
My mother says the "fabric" used to make the main parts might not be entirely waterproof.... :think: I don't know where to go cause I dont have any waders or anything. Riverside was good cause I didn't have to actually wade to get to the spot. I dunno where to go without wading...
