The heel is where mine alway used to fail. Take your your waders and put a strip of duct tape across the bottom and 1/2 way up the calf on the inside and outside. The duct tape will take the abrasion and not the neoprene. That'll give you an extra 5 years on your new pair. [thumbup]
That is a great idea. I always used a pair of wader socks to help with that problem but one of mine ripped in half and the other went missing so I think I'm digging out the duct tape, thanks for the tip [thumbup]

I have always wondered why danny likes those dam neoprene??? once you where breathables you never go back.....wader liners for the below freezing temps and your golden.

I thought it was gonna be easier in the cold as I got older. Thats a false one. Im cold just getting out of bed in the morn. The frigid weather just dosent get easier. Plunking is nice so I can make a fire and sit next to it.

Last few days on the coast have been a blast with big b run coho. Super bright with salty scales and sea lice. Also had the pleasure of fighting millions of chum and the occasional dark chinook. Tomorrow is my last day for 2013 salmon. Its been an awesome season for salmon all around, best in a while. Steelhead are next, hope they return just as strong. Heres some pics from the last few days, last salmon pics from me this year!

those are some prime looking chromers there. fantastic work. no more salmon though for you? you must have steelhead showing on your local rivers cause i know you are not going to be idle. the way i hear it danny takes a day off only to fish. gotta admire endurance like that.
