| Rock Grip Aluminum Bar Wading Boots |
Man, do I hate falling in the river! Nothing can ruin a trip like starting the day out cold and damp. That’s the basic design problem with all waders… they put this huge hole at the top of them! Much worse, falling in rivers can put your life at risk. A few years back, I decided to fish the Sandy River, just outside of Portland because I had an obligation later in the city. With my aggressive wading and yes, poor motor skills, I managed to take the big plunge. We aren’t talking a bit of a stumble. We are talking the full on over-your-head type of dunking. Being ill prepared without a change of clothes, I was stumped as to how I would go to my meeting soaked. I ended up going to an outlet store where I bought the cheapest clothing I could find. I put it all on right in the dressing room and then had to explain to some kid why I would be wearing it out of the store. Yep, I felt like a massive dork.
