I have her together. I am not sure if I have the right amount of air in the tubes, but I will find out in the morning. [url "javascript: addTag('sly')"][sly][/url] Oh man I can't wait. I pulled her out the box at work and my fellow employees were checking it out. It looks impressive compared to the old round tube.[url "javascript: addTag('cool')"][cool][/url]
Tomorrow will be the first day I have fly fished in over a year. I am going to be a perch slaying machine!!! [url "javascript: addTag('sly')"][sly][/url]

I hope you did well on your maiden voyage. Those are such a nice craft compared to the donut style.[url "javascript: addTag('cool')"][cool][/url]

[url "javascript: addTag('cool')"][cool][/url][#0000ff]Glad you got to go afloat. The fishing will get better when you get comfortable enough with your system to concentrate on the fishing and not on survival.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]You are right about the waders. Boot foot waders are for wading. They are not designed for tubing and they will cramp your style. As you have probably already figured out, you need either neoprenes or ultralight with stocking feet...either of the same lightweight material or neoprene.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]Then, when you get the soft foot waders, you need to get some wading shoes or neoprene "divers' boots", with a hard rubber sole. These go over your soft foot portion of your waders, to allow you to walk around in them without getting a puncture or rock bruise. If you are lucky, the fins you have will fit the new ensemble. If not, get a pair that fits well enough to avoid losing one (or both), but does not fit so tightly that circulation is cut off in your feet.[/#0000ff]
