idk having the cool water relieve my sweaty balls and swamp ass is a real luxury
Its a saltwater thing, so don't wet wade or swim in the bays or tidal riversTroutman wrote: ↑Wed May 19, 2021 12:45 amcatching a parasite infection from a semi open cut while in the water. I used to wet wade all the time as a youngster. Not now. read that some people can actual die from it. There was a guy that fell into some brackish water crabbing in south jersey. He started to swell up & then they started cutting his appendages. Next thing you know he died

My favorite Western river who's name will go unmentioned flows from a very deep reservoir located at elevation. Flows are steady, but water temps are 44F in the morning, climbing to 46F by end of the day. This river is located in what I would call high desert plateau, and daytime air temps on a cool day are in the 90s and on a hot day in the lower 100s. Talk about a freak show - frozen toes under several layers with sweat pouring out of every gland above your waist while you are wearing nothing but a moisture wicking short sleeved fishing shirt and sweating through it. As great as the fishing is, I never get used to those temperature inversions while wading it.martalus wrote: ↑Wed May 19, 2021 10:25 amI prefer to wet wade from May onward. The one exception is if I am going to be wading waste deep or more for extended periods in a tail water. Last fathers day I fished a tail water with temps in the low 50s-it was bizzare as the air temp got into the high 80s/low 90s and my face was sweating but my body and feet were ice cold, even in waders.

Havent been there since the 90's but I always found it to be a dry heat, not much sweating but alot of liquid loss...always went in August...pmd 's most of the day and black caddis in eveninglightenup wrote: ↑Wed May 19, 2021 12:03 pmThe Big Horn?Rusty Spinner wrote: ↑Wed May 19, 2021 11:45 amMy favorite Western river who's name will go unmentioned flows from a very deep reservoir located at elevation.

Nope, but I have fished that river and it has stupid numbers of trout per mile in the upper reach. Best caddis hatch I've ever seen as well. Good guess based on tailwater and high desert plateau.lightenup wrote: ↑Wed May 19, 2021 12:03 pmThe Big Horn?Rusty Spinner wrote: ↑Wed May 19, 2021 11:45 amMy favorite Western river who's name will go unmentioned flows from a very deep reservoir located at elevation.

Amen to that. One of life's simple pleasures, imo.MickyFinn wrote: ↑Tue May 18, 2021 6:01 pmOut at it today and left the waders at home. I knew I would be fishing a small stream and likely not wading deep. But the water felt good! I don't know why some people are so against wet-wading. Light going, comfortable in hot weather, and convenient pit-stops. What's not to like?!
