dave robinson Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 (edited) Hey Vince. You wanna be our resident "Wading Expert"? Seriously, it would be a good meeting topic you could present on. Think about it. After all you probably wouldn't want "Ranger Bobber", "Bobber Guidos" or "Dancer Southwick" to do it would you. I could do it, but I'm a chicken when it comes to wading and would probably scare everybody half to death.

vince Posted January 4, 2012 Author Share Posted January 4, 2012 Dave I'm far from being a wading expert and frankly I've been know to take a dunk in 4 inches of water which happened in a pretty little part of the Livingstone. I guess if your going to go for a dunk it might as well be in 4 inches of water. Funny... the first thing I do after a dunk is to quickly look around to see if anyone saw me and if they did I would simply curse at a rock for being in the wrong place at the right time and if no one saw me then I would just laugh and carry on. While I'm not a chicken, when comes to wading, I am very much a cautious wader and never venture out higher than mid thigh and on very rare occasions and only when the water flow is slow do I ever venture up to crotch hieght. I always wear waist high waders so a minor slip from crotch height water will result in some wet underwear and I can tell you that the boys don't like being wet. I do think that putting on a number of video's on wading safety would be a real benifit to our club members and if the executive wants I can put some video's together. We could also discuss the benifits of a wading staff, whistle, etc. Vince Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kristi Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 Vince and Dan, Great videos! I think it would be an added benefit to have several wadding safety tutorials and or classes for the experienced and the "not so experienced" it’s never too late or early to have the knowhow and the what to do, in a situation such as a slip, loss of balance, or having that darn rock in the way of your foot as you step out!. Ha-ha! Looks like I’m going to have a busy schedule myself with my waiting for the beginner fly tying class; the casting class and now researching the do's and don'ts on wadding! Well I look forward to it all and am very excited to see what this year has in store for us as a club! ~Kristi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dipperdan Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 All joke's aside , Vince I agree with you this is a very good topic for the club. Fishing safety should be number 1. In the past , I've been known to wade out to the unknown in that frigid Red Deer water and I have taken a few dipps ( you know what I mean ) . I watched a few of the videos , lotsa great info.
