Re: Wading boots

Felt is awesome walking in the river and on rocks..Be careful walking in mud. Its like being in ice skates. Rubber soles better walikng in mud not nearly as good in river. My 2 cents.

Re: eggs cured

Get some shrimp. Frozen, head off, shell on, and un cooked.Like $10 a bag. Cure those in your favorite egg cure. Coho like that just as much as eggs sometimes. A great alternative. Can also use this shrimp to tip your jigs bobber fishing. Works great!!!!!!. Then hopefully you catch some hens for mor...

Yeah thats a total bummer man. When I get back to my car I always put my rods in the car before I take my waders off. Heard to many of the same style story. Sucks having to replace good gear!!!
