Got out this week and managed to catch a few fish but also got a thorn
in my waders. I can feel the thorn as it is still in there. Right
now the waders are not leaking. Question- should I remove the thorn
and patch it? Patch it with the thorn in? Is there a chance that if
I remove the thorn they will still not leak? The waders are Dan
Bailey gortex.

Thanks in advance.

I'd remove the thorn as cleanly as possible, then patch the damaged area using
one of the UV-activated repair kits that Simms sells...
