Wader Choice:"Death, Taxes and Leaky Waders"

The title of John Gierach's book - "Death, Taxes and Leaky Waders" - says it all - leaking waders seem to be one of life's unavoidable perils. Pick any fishing forum at random and you are sure to find pages of advice on what waders to buy, the durability of waders at various price points, and suppliers replacement policies.

Chest waders are more expensive than thigh waders. But they have several advatages. It's all too easy to bend over in the river, or sit down on wet grass and get a soaking

Personally I prefer stockingfoot over bootfoot waders. In bootfoot waders the boot is an integral part of the wader. This design makes it easier to get into an out of the waders. Stockingfoot waders have waterproof neoprene socks and are worn with separate boots. This arrangement provides greater ankle support which can be important, especially if you plan to walk a long way during a day's fishing.

Take care to try on waders to make sure they fit. There is a lot of bending and stretching during a day's fishing. This can place undue pressure on seams - an acknowledged weak point in some types of wader. Also try to avoid the 'baggy trousers' effect - it doesn't help if the material between your legs rubs together excessively
