Reviews and comparisons in the FF rags are nigh on useless. You cannot

for impartial opinions here on roff.

But good luck with that anonymous prick thing you've got going. You're
really getting it down pat.

The rain in Spain falls mainly on the plain.

Keep up the good work.

I think the reply he was looking for was "By Jove, I think she's got
it!".

I like my Chota STL Plus for both hiking and wading. I've put
lots of miles on them hiking and they're fine for me. I wear
silk undersocks, SmartWool hiking socks, neoprene booties with
gravel guards and my size 10.5 foot in a size 11 Chota and I've
never had a blister hiking back to the car.

Best hiking/wading boots I've ever owned.

Yeah what he said. I am on my third set of Chota STLs. Great boot.
It is the only wading boot I have ever been able to put on when it is
dry. Worth the extra bucks.

Am I supposed to guess ? Definitely not moe, moe was the smart
one. So that leaves eeny, meeny and miny, hmmm I guess I'll go
with miny. It rhymes with whiny and whiny is so you.

What do I win ?

And keep up the good work, we haven't had an anonymous prick
as fun as you around here in ages.

advice. Wet skin and hiking boots is a recipe for blisters.

OTOH, whatta great way to get rid of all that dead skin and geezer callouses. Prolonged soaking makes for waterlogged callouses and the walking wears em all off. To think the ladies pay millions for the same treatment.

(tip o' the hat to ya', fred

I went out and fished last night. I was gonna toss a #10 BH 20-incher and
do the nymph thing, but brought the wrong fly. I fished my olive
wooley-booger, instead. Nada. I didn't make it out today, the winds being
in the 15-20mph range, so got two new flies when I went to town. A glo-bug
(on advice from here) and #12 olive BH 20-incher. I hope to try both nymphs
and bug, tomorrow.

(casting is improving!)

Maybe the liner socks is really all I need. I have a new pair of SIMMS
wading boots that support my foot well ... I'm just a bit too dense to make
the leap to walking a few miles with no water in sight, in felt soles, but
it seems it works just fine, if maybe shortens sole life a lot ? ...



Don't hike in felt soles, Larry. You'll wear them out in no time.

IMO, Aquastealth soles are best for hiking because of their durability,
although when wading I'd prefer felt. I use removable studs (sheet metal
screws -- cheap and easily replaceable).

I was going to mention the Aqua Stealth boots
They are far better for hikling

I think it's an anonymous prick, but it's a really, really good
anonymous prick so I guess I agree, it's OK.
