Wading Safety Now that we are getting inot spring, many of us will be spending more time on the river. I feels it's a good idea to talk about wading safety. There is a saying about cyclists, "There are two kinds of riders; those who have been down and those who are going down." Same thing could be said of waders. I hope
you take time to read this article on safe wading.
It is packed with valuable information - https://howtoflyfish.orvis.com/how-to-articles/trout-fishing-articles/tips-for-safe-wading One of the things not mentioned in the article regarding how to using a wading staff.
Always place your staff
upstream of your body, leaning into the current.
Should you begin to lose your balance, the current
will push you upright rather than downstream. I was at first skeptical of a wading staff. That was before my first fall in the river. Now I’m a believer. Remember this, “The wading staff is not an old man’s cane, it’s a wise man’s tool”.
Tight lines and safe wading.
