Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Felt soles

Due to spam walls at work, cant view the site normally.� But id suggest studs with no felt that are not removable from the boot except for repair.� The fewer moving pieces, the less you can mess up.� And the sharper the studs the more traction i seem to get.� But dont get me wrong i am never found without a walking staff.

Studs huh? �I have some korkers that have the removable soles (felt and rubber)....I wonder if there's a studded insert for those? �

I just got new waders and boots, and they're studded boots. All my previous waders were bootfoot with rubber soles, so I never had options. Well, I guess I could have found bootfoot waders with felt soles, but that's neither here nor there. I have found that there isn't a surface I can't walk on with studded boots without confidence, although you still obviously need to take proper care. Echoing what Danny said, I'd highly recommend studded boots for safety reasons alone. Another advantage beyond the grip in water - more grip on icy surfaces on the trail or bank.�

Not sure.� i had felt for years.� but after rolling my ankle many times i broke down and bought a pair of non felt from orvis. i forget the name, there the only ones they have that unzip down the side.� they are awesome.� id buy a 2nd pair in a heart beat.� had them for 2 years now, the metal studs are still razor sharp and the boots themselves are built strongly prohibiting most of my rolled ankles.� only downside is there a lil heavier then most.� but i almost have to try to slip in order to slip in them.

Hi - I did a search for the terms "felt soles" and found some information, but I was specifically looking for:

Maryland - prohibited - done deal

Virginia - acceptable, but discouraged? �

D.C. - anything? �

West Virginia - ? �Doesn't seem to be prohibited, at least on the Elk River

Mainly I'm curious about Virginia. �It appears that they are concerned about didymo (since they have an article about it here -�http://www.dgif.virginia.gov/fishing/didymo.asp) but I don't see that there's a prohibition mentioned for any waters. �Does anyone know if this is the case? �

Thanks,
