Late September I found myself in a predicament standing in the N.F. 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 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.

Kevin,
no affiliation, etc...
