He's young, so they probably dont bother him too much. Once he gets up there in years a little more he might change his mind about those.

The heel is where mine alway used to fail. Take your your waders and put a strip of duct tape across the bottom and 1/2 way up the calf on the inside and outside. The duct tape will take the abrasion and not the neoprene. That'll give you an extra 5 years on your new pair.

That is a great idea. I always used a pair of wader socks to help with that problem but one of mine ripped in half and the other went missing so I think I'm digging out the duct tape, thanks for the tip

bigskyx: I give him a hard time everytime I see those things. Neoprenes drive me nuts! Too much weight and not enough mobility. I get claustrophobic in them. Plus the boot feet drive me nuts.
I have always wondered why danny likes those dam neoprene??? once you where breathables you never go back.....wader liners for the below freezing temps and your golden.

I thought it was gonna be easier in the cold as I got older. Thats a false one. Im cold just getting out of bed in the morn. The frigid weather just dosent get easier. Plunking is nice so I can make a fire and sit next to it.

those are some prime looking chromers there. fantastic work. no more salmon though for you? you must have steelhead showing on your local rivers cause i know you are not going to be idle. the way i hear it danny takes a day off only to fish. gotta admire endurance like that.
