Neal –
You have probably already fixed it. Here’s the standard procedure:
How to Repair Waders
1. Determine whether you have a pinhole leak or a tear. For leaks at seams, send to manufacturer for repair (seam taping machines are serious industrial pieces of hardware that can’t really be duplicated at home).
2. Turn waders inside out. Hang from shower rod. Put isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol in a mister.
3. Soak waders thoroughly in misted alcohol. Wait 1 minute.
4. Circle any dark spots with a permanent magic marker. Use a color so you can switch to a different one if you need to do this again when you put another hole in your waders.
5. Wait for the wader to dry. Procure Aquaseal. This stuff is probably identical to Goop, though it may be a somewhat thinner mix.
6. Apply a small, thin amount to your pinhole leaks. Should be about the size of a dime or less and about as thick as a dime.
7. Let dry overnight.
8. If your pinhole was really a tear, now would be the time to apply a small piece of the patch that came with your waders (on the inside). Match the sides so the breathable interior fabric stays inward. Some people iron their patches on after application; to be honest, I don’t know whether this is advisable or not.
I agree with Steve K. – the el cheapo eBay carbon tripod (made by Adorama if I remember right) is actually a wonderful buy.
Feedback would denote some kind of criticism flowing from us to you, and I don’t know how to improve on that mayfly pic.
The only fishing show I could really watch on ordinary TV without flicking channels was the Walker’s Cay Chronicles.
David –
That last one is poignant. How was he as a subject?

It’s all about the hat, bro. I think your camera is going wonky trying to place you in that ’38 roadster its software told it to expect whenever it encounters that sort of hat. 😉
Incidentally, this blog is pretty hilarious: http://wasp101.blogspot.com/2008/01/sunday-afternoon-drive.html
Just giving you crap Neal.

Yeah, Areta and Allen are friends of my brother’s – Allen and my brother Eli stayed with me when they had to take their boards in Atlanta.
Personally, a waistpack (my preferred name – don’t try “fanny pack” on our Aussie friends) carries connotations of flats fishing and minimalism to me.
Thanks Mike; in talking to Bill that seems to be exactly the case. And in that respect, I apologize to Bill for passing misinformation along – I had been incorrectly informed.
