Hello,
Just read that Vermont prohibits felt for wader bottoms.
Huh ?
No idea how long it's been this way in Vt.
Other states also ?
Why ?
If I now go fishing in Vt, am I supposed to buy new wading shoes.
I just can't see what environmental damage felt on the show bottom can
possibly cause.
Anyone know anything about this ?
Bob

transported to a stream via felt-soled wading boots.

Most everybody who fly fishes knows about this. Except you,
apparently.

sole - sticky or not sticky- Is why I will buy $239 alum bar boots
I dont want to take cleats on & then off for a guide boat
$239 is a lotta $$ for boots but.. I dont want to be swept to sea
At least someone will find me to steal my boots
