Well as far as grace goes throw it out the window - I went neck deep yesterday evening. Looked like a muskrat swimming outta the creek. Thankfully there was no current and I was wearing waist waders.
I am not ashamed to say it because it happens but I want you water trappers to be careful on your water lines this winter - especially with the upcoming cold weather coming on. Wouldn't be a bad idea to have a change of clothes in the truck. Have fun but be careful out there, remember take a buddy if you can.

I tend to fall down or go over my boots quite regularly so I keep full set of clothes in the truck all the times. I have enough socks in my tool box that it looks like a cotton gin.
Stopping to drink a drink and eat a pack of peanuts and chaning into a fresh dry pair of socks can make you feel like 1000 bucks.

Wear a belt around the outside of your waders it'll slow down the water from getting in.
Be safe!

Now you know the defenition of" tithighs', yes that belt trick is good, but make sure it is one that has a clasp for quick release, if those boots get full sometimes best to swim out of them if stuck or what ever. Cabelia's has some waterproof ziplock bags for carring dry clothes in for back-up. Been there.. done that...brrrrrrrrrr

If they do fill up with water, you better have a knife to cut the waders off. Because of suction you can't just swim out of them. Ever take a wet pair of rubber boots off? Waders are worse.
