Before I got waders, I just trekked through the water in my shorts and cheap pair of shows.  Until I can justify $200-$500 to my wife on fishing gear, I'll stick to my CT $35 clearance neoprene boots, and $70 waders.

 

 

At the end of the day it's just water!

happy wife; happy life

my old Red Balls (PVC/nylon)did the trick for me, for many years. the key to comfort was a decent layering, and staying away from cotton.

1) Where do fish retreat to in the fall? the slowest deepest water. fish the sun instead of the shade.

2) Preferred lures when fall fishing? as a fly guy the best i can answer this with is.... an olive tube, seriously. i was out on the weekend and nailed a 1-2lbs smallie (London/Thames River)on a franken bugger. it was a woolly bugger with a excessive amount of rubber legs. all my other go to flies were a bust.

3) Does the retrieval speed change as the water gets colder? dead slow. you gotta put it right on the nose of the fish.

i hope that you are able to find some sorta relief. i watched my brother have to deal with this. nasty pain...
