[cool][#0000ff]Good story...and a good example. It pays to be prepared for whatever weather might come up...and to make sure you have the right boots and fins.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]I seldom carry rain gear but sometimes take out a folded up big black plastic garbage bag. If a sudden downpour moves in, I just put the bag on over everything and wait for it to lay down. Summer rains sometimes don't last long. If it looks like it is going to hang in there for awhile, and I want to keep fishing, I cut a hole in the bottom for the head and then pull the bag down over the rest of me. I don't have to cut holes for the arms. The bag works like a plastic poncho. The main thing is to keep your back dry. If your back gets wet and chilled the rest of you won't last long on the water.[/#0000ff]
