A good morning starts with dry feet.

Waders that fit.
Layers that don’t bind.

Measure over your hunting layers. Leave enough room to kneel, but don’t size up the boot to make room for thick socks.

Bootfoot or stockingfoot?

Bootfoot waders have boots attached: pull them on and go. Stockingfoot waders end in neoprene socks and need separate wading boots. Bootfoot is our simpler choice for cold, muddy rice fields.

Measure chest at the widest point. Measure inseam from crotch to floor, barefoot.

December 6 · Eli’s field notebook

The morning the lines froze.

24°F. A north wind. The gloves stayed warm, but tying a new knot meant taking one off. Here’s what earned its place.

Verdict: keep them for the ride and the retrieve. Carry a thinner pair for knots.
