Good evening,
I fish all the time. In the colder months for salmon and steelhead I fish out of my canoe with regular old chest waders. Drift down to a spot, beach canoe, get out and fish. Repeat.
I use rubber boots for canoeing. Sometimes I walk out too far and fill them with water.
I also have a set of waist high breathable stocking foot waders with a boot that has a felt sole so it doesn't slip on slippery stuff. Very comfortable walking distances in them.
I was thinking about using them for canoe trips, but was wondering why I don't see people doing this. Nowadays they are made pretty tough - used the same sets for years crawling around the woods. For some of those deep water landings they would be great, and you can keep your lower body dry paddling in the rain. I always buy larger so I can get in and out of the canoe easily.
Enlightenment please!
Thank you.
