I would like to replace the waders I have now, actually both of them. I prefer stocking waders and wading boots but when my last waders finally gave up the ghost I had not time to order new ones and had to buy locally from depleted stocks.
They have served me well but I do prefer stocking waders like I said.
I’m a bit of a river bum so it seemed appropriate to check out RiverBum.com and see what they have to offer.

I have had so much fun in the past thirty years, since I first learned to use a fly rod. I am not saying I haven’t had a few times that I wanted to throw everything in the drink but practice has helped. My older brother did get fed up one day, angry is more like it, and threw all his gear including his rod and reel in a lake and said he was done with fishing. What a temper Bobby Boy.
I never let him live that one down.
In all seriousness fly casting isn’t that tough to learn and you can be on the water catching fish in just minutes. The thing is that bad habits always seem easy learn but are rather tough to break so take the time to learn correctly from square one and you will have a new hobby to enjoy for a lifetime.
Oh by the way it’s never really too late to learn how. Just ask my good friend Casey the next time you see him on the water because he is going to learn how to fly fish for the first time in his life and let’s just say he’s older than I am and I learned when I was 30 and that was 30 years ago.
Here’s a video I found on Youtube this morning that goes into the details of fly casting. What is the difference between casting using a fly rod and a spinning rod. Information that’s useful to know. Even a bit about safety so you can stay on the water longer without sticking a hook in yourself.
But today it’s all about learning how to make the fly land on the water where you want it to. So here it is, enjoy.
