Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Best waders for this area?

It does suck -- studded felt is the best IMO.  I don't care what anyone says, felt helps in certain areas.  Studs alone are decent, and plain rubber is a hip replacement. 

Knowing Maryland, it's probably a "We don't really have a clear understanding of things, but we'll go ahead and throw this __ at it to try to appease people and make it seem as if we're doing something very cerebral".  I've never seen a single wash station in person that is actually functional in the entire state (Funpowder, Beav, Savage, BHC), suggesting to me that it clearly isn't a priority.  Most of them are so buried in debris it isn't immediately evident that there is anything even under the sign.  Some of the ones at Funpowder will be frozen solid by this evening. 

People are strange, so it's best to avoid them by fishing small streams ;).

Good point on wader wash stations - I think the original idea was to avoid bringing in rock snot and whirling disease etc. But if they're not being maintained....meh. It might be old news but no more felt soles in MD - that sucks.

BTW -- these "wader wash stations".  Can someone explain how beer cans and leaves are to be utilized to clean my boots?
