5 Wading Ideas (More or Less)

About this episode

The episode discusses the importance of wading less while fly fishing and shares thoughts on safety and equipment.

Perhaps this is a little pedantic, but it is worth saying: You don't need to wade to fly fish. What do I mean? Well, I think a lot of anglers wade too much. We get in the water where we don't need to. We move too close to where the fish are. We disturb things as we wade and then wonder why the fish aren't interested in our fly. Today I share a half-dozenish thoughts on wading. Some have to do with safety and equipment. But more importantly, I discuss how less wading might be a good idea. Learn more about your ad choices.
