fishing in BC, YT, and Alaska
Will be traveling in Canada and Alaska this summer - June, July, August. Plan on fishing some streams and lakes. How important is it to have waders?
Forum Discussion
On the Kenai Peninsula either waders or hip boots are needed. I use hip boots. The Kenai, Russian,and Anchor rivers would require gear that you can wade out about knee depth. Do not recommend to go deeper because of the current. If you fall with hip boots they fill with water then act as an anchor and drag you under. Chest waders can act like balloons raise your feet and legs and force your head under the current. I also wear a West Marine water activated air inflated life vest.
