Waders Nothing is more important to your steelhead fishing success than your wading equipment. It is safe to say that no other equipment item has ruined more steelhead trips than leaky waders. The very best waders available are none too good for the environment that steelhead live in. Steelhead rivers and steelhead fishing trips beat up waders. All waders eventually will leak with prolonged use on steelhead rivers. Some brands are more reliable than others. The Waders We Sell have been proven in the steelhead environment(s). During colder weather, we recommend that you bring an extra pair of waders. Wading Shoes Steelhead rivers are often very large and require that fishing is done while wading. Wading in most steelhead rivers is challenging, and although our guides will keep you in water that you can handle, the most skilled waders have access to more and often better water. Steelhead live where streambed rocks are large and slippery. Wading shoes used for steelhead fishing should be equipped with traction devises such as Tungsten-carbide Studs and/or Stare Cleats. No, this ain't Montana where anglers fish while floating, and guides are worried about the floors of their cute little drift boats. This is Oregon where anglers wade for steelhead. We know the terrain and we want you to be safe and our boats are equipped to be "Stud Freindly". No one knows more about the installation of traction devices than we do. We are walking on traction devices nearly every day. Have our Stud Service install your studs. Even better, just buy your studded steelhead shoes here.
