I've been experimenting with different ways to fish a small rocky
creek where I live. I've tried wading and drifting in a canoe. The
problem with wading is I can't get to most of the good spots. The
problem with the canoe is that it's hard to cast from.

I tried a pair of breathable chest waders instead of hip waders and
they made a huge difference. I was able to get just about anywhere I
needed to. I didn't realize it but chest waders almost double the
depth you can go. Major difference.

And I actually caught fish! Amazing!

Always wear a tight belt around the waist of chest waders!!!!! The life you
save may be your own. Keeps the waders from filling up fast. if you step
into deeper water or fall down. You can actually swim back to shallow water
instead of crawling along the bottom. The voice of experience speaks.
