Who wears boot foot waders these days? Many of our Caddis Fly Pro staffers, the old duffer, remember the era when wading boots were unnecessary, because people all wore heavy black UniRoyal chest waders or rubber hip waders were the trademark of fly fishing, heck, fishing for anything was marked by boot foot waders of some sort.

Not no more. Nope. Today, stockingfoot waders, for a ton of reasons, are the standard for fly fishing, at least if one happens to plan on fly fishing while standing in the water, as opposed to standing on the riverbank, lakeshore, or in a boat. Consequently, wading boots are crucial, because there ain't no fun to be had in wading without wading boots, unless it is on a sandy beach. Discovering that our wading boots have been eaten by a bear during the night is one lousy way to wake up in steelhead camp. By the way, bears, raccoons, skunks and wolverines do eat wading boots. Yes they do. They love to eat wading boots, Our number-one fly rod, our finest fly reels, and our best wilderness fly lines. Bears normally do not, however, eat our sturdy Yeti Coolers.

OK. Our topic here is wading boots. Fly fishing wading boots. Any boots that we wear over our stockingfoot waders. We know wading boots. We love wading boots, big time. We love Simms wading boots, Patagonia wading boots, and Korkers wading boots and shoes. No bull.

If you are wondering about the felt soles versus vibram controversy, just know that we are agonizing with you. We have extensive experience with the Simms product line of StreamTread Vibram non felt wading boots and we do recommend, in most instances, the use of Simms Star Cleats, the Simms Hardbite Studs, and the Grip Studs for use with these non-felt sole wading boots. Fact is, we usually used studded felts before Simms discontinued felts from their product line, and we think that most of our grip on the slippery bottom was from the studs rather than simply from the felt anyway, so here we go into the future with new Patagonia wading bootss; Korkers Wading Boots; Korkers Omnitrax wading boot soles; Simms studded wading boots; and of course our Flats wading shoes & boots.
