RE: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Wading 4 Mile Run

Fleece pants, and yeah, wool socks. My jeans soaked up every bit of moisture and chafed. Fleece wicks moisture to the inside surface of the waders where it can dissipate through the breathable membrane.

Jeans.  Warm socks are the most important thing if it is really cold.  That was what I wore 20+ years winter steelhead fishing in upstate ny and I was never cold.

I actually just got my first pair of waders and have wanted to try 4 MR because it looks like a good place to not only catch fish but also practice casting, which I definitely need.

What do you all normally wear under your waders for pants when it gets cooler out?

Is there anything I should consider from a safety perspective before getting in the water there? I have only waded in Bull Run, which for the most part is pretty docile.

I agree with Kevin - temp is the last thing I'd worry about in a steam like Four Mile Run. That being said, none of the gauges in the area seem to have water temp, but at Little Falls, the Potomac is running 56-59 degrees the past few days. The discharge will be warmer than that, and 4MR will likely respond to warm days (and cold days) a little faster than the bigger river. But, in my opinion, you won't last long wading in sub-60 degree water without waders with cool air temps.

As long as you're comfortable wading around outside of a shit treatment plant, have at it!  Temperature wouldn't be my main concern there....

I've finally have my weekends free again and given the amazing weather this past (except for today), I was thinking of heading to four mile run this weekend and getting some fishing in. I wanted to check with the wisdom of the board and see if it would be okay to wade this weekend WITHOUT waders (I'd be going in sneakers and shorts).  Not sure if it's too cold yet.  Thanks!

Cheers,
Patrick
