    Hike in my Simms. They have been going for 3 seasons already, and I have always hiked up to the beat with them on. still plenty of felt left.

    Interesting that this poll is posted under "Hunting Trout" I do most of my wading in the vaal... No trout in there

    There is also no option for waders with gum-boots (Damn I need some with booties!)

    Many years ago I saw a Vaal local set up a dead bait rig for barbel using a 'past-used-by' date unfrozen forel as fodder.

    I must admit I never hung around to check his results, the smell was awful.

    The trout was a bit off as well.
