Fishing Waders

 Fishing Waders

   There are several types of fishing waders you can choose from. Some fishermen have more than just one kind. That way you can choose the wader for the different kind of fishing you will be doing. You can have a boot wader which is just a long boot that goes up to about your knee. You would use these in small streams and not very deep. Then you have hip waders. These you would use on a little deeper stream. You can use these for putting out your duck decoys if you don't have a boat too. These types are usually rubber or neoprene and work well.

   The next type are chest fishing waders. These come in many types of material. The breathable type are lighter. I feel you should not skimp on these you should get the best you can afford. Some come with boot attached to the fishing wader and some come with no boot or shoe attached. You decide what you like and get them. You obviously can go into water much deeper in the water than the boot or hip type fishing wader, but be careful and don't go deeper in the water than you can handle. You will be amazed at the weight and pressure that water can put against you.

   You can also choose what type of bottom the boot or shoe will have on them. I think you should talk to your salesperson in the store about the two types, felt or lugged bottom and figurer out what is best for you or which you like the best. I personally have both boot fishing wader and chest fishing waders. I also have separate shoes with felt bottoms on them. I also have  a pair of wading boots with lugged bottoms too. You can get high tops or regular height shoes just depends on what you like. I like high top for the extra strength for my ankles. I had hip wader but when they developed a leak I never replaced them.

   Whenever you go out into the water to fish, or any reason for that matter, I feel you should not go by yourself. Always have someone with you just in case you fall you may need help getting up if you are hurt. Even if you just twisted you ankle it is easier to get out of the water with someone helping you.
