    No wader repair kit with you? I always keep one in my wader pocket.

    I did have one, but couldn't find where it was leaking. Two trash bags held up with duct tape over my socks/long underwear solved the problem of a wet foot. Only added a minute or so to suiting up.

    Truth be told, i fished in some cheap Redhead neoprene duck hunting waders for 10yrs. Decided to get the "nicer" breathable type and went with the still cheaper Bass Pro White River waders. So far, i've got 4 good years out of them with no signs of wearing down....(knock on wood)

    Stopped counting after day 1. 30+ fish per day and one day close to 70 (per person) Primarily Dolly's as we started and then all Coho as we got closer to Bristol Bay.

    Also caught:
    Rainbow
    Grayling
    Sockeye (tried avoiding as most were in full spawn mode)
    Pinks (tried avoiding)
    Jack Kings

    Adventerous final day :laughing:

    With close to 800 lbs of total weight, low on air and a broken pump, we had 10 miles to cover for our pre-determined extraction point (called the evening before to confirm via satellite phone) on the river and we covered the first 8 miles as planned in 2 hours. Then the wind picked up significantly and shifted upstream. The final 2 miles took 5 hours and at times I was being blown/pushed back upstream while rowing with all I could give. I grinded it out for 5 straight hours to make it to our take out location to be picked up via float plane. Totally sucked at the time and I thought my arms, shoulders and back were going to seize. The other guy that I was with wasn't strong enough to row in those conditions, so it all fell on me. We made it with an hour to spare.
