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

I've taken one bad spill in felts in the SNP from a mossy rock, and sometimes wet leaves are problematic.  Overall though, I'll take....well, in this order if I can choose --

Felt + studs
Rubber + studs
Felt





Rubber


By all means though, try some types and see what suits you best.  Whatever keeps you upright and fishing ;).

Seriously though buy the most durable waders you can afford. I can't say I've heard of a lousy pair of waders. 

Per soles, I'll stopped wearing felt after slipping down a wooden staircase in RMNP. I took one step and it was like wearing ice skates. My wife found me at the bottom like this

Korkers Devils Canyon are my jam. Rubber with studs.

I'm with you, Gene, Vibram just isn't as good as felt. If you ask me you have to add studs to Vibram soles.

No one does -- that's the catch.  Not that fly fishermen care about that sort of thing as it relates to other practices.   

I do have some great evidence of knee and hip injury due to slippage from rubber soles though. ;)
