Default trip report

Nice. Thanks for the report.

All in all, a lot of fun for a September morning. I might just head out
again tomorrow. I do have to do a bit of wader repair, and am coming to the
point where the old McKenzie lightweights might have to be replaced. The
Pirate talks of pennies per day from the Simms. These waders cost me all of
$55, 12 years ago, and have headed to the stream at least 700 times since.
Pennies per day, indeed! They will give way next season to a pair of
Cabelas, or whatever Bruce Fisher has for me up at his shop near Penns, but
have more than earned their keep.


I've bought two waders in over 30 years, both of them LLBean's.
The first pair is still watertight and usable but they appear
to have "shrunk" a little bit. ;-) The last pair I bought a
couple of years ago and I expect them to last 30 years as well.

I can't understand spending more than $100 on waders.

Usual disclaimer, no stock in LLBean etc etc
