Fly fishing waders are one of the most important parts of any fly fisherman gear and can make your fishing experience a pleasant one or one you will want to forget. Depending on the depth of the water you will be wading in and where you plan on fishing will determine the type of wader you should choose. Fishing waders do two things that are important to someone fly fishing - they keep the angler dry and also keep the angler warm.
Waders come in three basic styles, hip waders, waist high waders and chest waders. They are typically made out of rubber, neoprene or a breathable material such as gore tex. Anglers that will be wading in only a foot or two of water may prefer hip waders which are a good choice when fishing in very shallow water such as small streams. Waist-high fly fishing waders would be a good choice for wading in slightly deeper waters and where you need additional coverage when fishing in moderately aggressive streams. Chest waders are the most versatile because they provide the fly fisherman with the most coverage. This is a perfect choice when wading in chest deep aggressive waters. It’s great to have this kind of coverage even when you’re not planning on wading in very deep waters because some waters that we wade in could have unexpected drop offs or holes. Chest fly fishing waders are perfect when fly fishing using a float tube and also gives you the best protection in fowl weather conditions like on a windy or rainy day. Many newer waist-high and chest fly fishing waders also include pockets for small tools or fly boxes and have the exterior pouches positioned out of the way of your arms when casting a fly.
If you’re a fly fishing beginner, you are most likely interested in learning the correct techniques and finding the easiest way to get started.
