Paddle pants

[bigbarrels]

or waders? What do you guys recommend ? What brand of either ?


I use to wear waders before I had a baby and fishes frequently, but thinking maybe paddle pants if I can find a good pair.

Thanks in advance

I prefer paddle pants as they are lighter and easier to take off on the water. It doesn't get that cold here that I need waders.

I use waders. These days they are very light and relatively inexpensive and the can be used while stream fishing too.

I agree with tacmik... not too cold here even in winter but having dry legs and chest is a plus in my book.

breatheable stockingfoot waders of whatever brand you can afford

I prefer NRS splash pants when I need to wear anything, much easier to pull down when you have to pee. Great protection from the splash, wind and sun. I have only used waders when fishing in the sierras and the water was 43 degrees and wind was blowing hard. Just wanted my feet to not be cold. That was a real pain when you had to go. The rest of the time I only have my board shorts and a long sleeve fishing shirt, if a little cool I put on a hoodie sweatshirt.

recently bought Stohlquist dry pants from OEX in Mission Bay. they work well and are very comfortable.
