A New Kind Of Serenity

[Preytorien]

I had the opportunity to fish with a couple friends of mine for smallmouth bass on a river near our town.

 

I had never been fishing on the river and they told me we would be wading it, since the river rarely tops 4ft deep.

 

It was my first wading experience, and let me tell you, I may be hooked. I haven't had that much fun fishing for some time. The scenery was incredible and the stillness and serenity of it all just entranced me. Not to mention I did pretty good at the fishing part too. This could be a habit in the making.

 

My wife doesn't know it, but I'm already looking at some waders!

I had the opportunity to do some of the same on the Meramac River in Missouri about two years ago while I was on vacation. Was an absolutely awesome experience, and I think you nailed it right on the head regarding just how serene it can be. I've been wanting to find a local spot and get back to it again - it was absolutely addicting, one of my favorite days out on the water ever. 

 

Glad to hear the fishing was also a success, and good luck with your future wading adventures (I am sure there will be more now haha)

I'm labeled a bank fisherman, but I am almost always in the water... Nothing like being waist deep with a lunker wrapping around your legs lol!

Funny story.....I've been looking at some waders ever since this last weekend. My stepdad happened to be at a garage sale and saw a pair for....no kidding.....$1.00

 

The lady said they were her son's....who had just gotten married and given her a bunch of stuff to sell. THEY STILL HAVE THE TAGS ON THEM.

 

They're Cabela's brand.....from what I can figure they're not the most expensive, but it'll do the trick to get me out in the middle of the water.

 

What blows my mind is that with all the measurements that waders have to accomodate (foot size, inseam, chest), these waders fit me perfectly.....apparently I'm in good with the guy upstairs or something!

 

You guys can find me out in the river if you need me for anything.....
