I don't know why you hate to admit it,



I suffer from SIMMSaphobia ... a condition that started with customer
service that left a bad taste in my mouth .... I'd already own the SIMMS
staff if it didn't say SIMMS on it

of the Clearwater, with that uneasy feeling of a Full Reid if I took
a step in any direction. I made it out without a dunking, however
told myself it was time to look for a wading staff.

I looked through the archives, although the information is a bit
dated. Are there any on the market that you would suggest and or stay
away from?
I took a look out on e-bay and found the following:

Thoughts, ideas, suggestions appreciated...


I just have a cheapo-bungie jointed model that stays attached to my wading belt.
These days it's used more to get up and down the river banks than to wade, but
when I get back to Penns. . .

Otherwise, I try to follow the Fortenberry rule of wading.

I like to use a Stick(tm). Any stream with beavers in residence
(and I haven't seen one yet that didn't have any) will usually have
an assortment of Sticks(tm) scattered about the bank. I look
around for one that is about the right length, use it to cross
over, and leave it on the bank for the next guy.
