Ok,
Now I feel like a newb. Went back to the river today dressed for the cold and everything was perfectly fine until I felt what I thought was water entering my right foot. Stepped back on shore and it didn't seem like I had water inside just one foot a little colder than the other; so I proceeded about my day wading as usual. Actually was not too cold for November at 7:30 am and didn't even need the heated gear (someone else was talking about that in another post so I thought I take a jab here). Fished until about 1:00 pm and had been wading up to my waist most of the day without any further feeling of wetness so I chalked it up to being an old pansy with bad circulation early in the mornings.
Got back home and started taking off the waders and the left foot was damp from sweating which is normal, but the right foot was soggy like there was an actual leak. Funny part is only from the ankle down was wet and like I stated above I fished in waist deep water most of the day.
Can someone explain this? Obviously there is a leak in a damn near new pair of waders but why is only my foot soggy and not my entire leg up to my waste?
:mad2: Also, how can I find this "leak". They are PL Chest Waders with Neoprene feet only.
Thanks,
