Fly Fishing the October Caddis Hatch (Finally) And Our Wading Boot Test Continues (Finally!)
By Tom Chandler 11/3/2009
With only minutes to spare before older (less-better-looking) bro arrives and we head out to see what damage we can do to the trout population (hopefully in the grip of October Caddis fever), I thought I'd resurrect our wading boot test.
You're looking at a pair of Korkers Guide boots with a studded rubber sole on one foot, and the plain rubber on the other.
This, I think, should prove interesting.
Next I plan to do the same with the Simms wading boots, and yes - the Korkers will eventually permit me to compare studded rubber to studded felt (these thing were made for testing).
With any luck, I'll return (sans dunking) with pictures of big trout and a review of the real difference between studded and un-studded rubber - and some idea as to whether the Korkers studded rubber soles will cut it on the Upper Sacramento.
Naturally, all this is subjective (well, not the big trout part), but if it's one thing fly fishermen manufacture in abundance, it's opinions.
See you on the river (finally!!), Tom Chandler.
