I saw a news report concerning these guys and they were blaming part of the problem on the guys wearing waders and how that drug them down. Seems to me, and maybe I'm wrong. That waders with a belt and a pfd, would be better than just a pfd. I've have my stupid moment and almost meet the same fate as these guys in Taneycomo one Febuary many years ago. We were wearing pfds and was blessed to have someone come along after about 15min in the water. I'll never forget that day.
Anyway, what's your opinion concerning wearing waders in a boat when on deep water?
