I found a pair of Red Ball urethane coated nylon stocking foot chest waders with the inflatable top ring at a IFF fair a few years back. No tags attached but appeared to had never been used. At 18 ounces, they roll up real small, and for $15, they have been great for packing into mountain lakes with a 3.5 lb float tube.

The 4mm neoprene socks and neoprene Sockwa Playa beach volleyball shoes I use to protect the stocking feet weigh almost as much as the waders.

If they ever wear out I have my first pair of waders; Browning stockingfoot PVC coated nylon that weigh about 6 ounces more.
are real fur coats a fashion NO-NO , how about a 15x black Tom Mix Stenson ?Admittingly, it has been a while since I've been out for a night on the town.
I didn't even recognize the R bar, the Legion (which was once a dive bar) now has granite bar tops, and we ate at a place called Open Range where you were charged $6 for "bread service" and horseradish for your $60 cut of meat was extra.
Understanding fashion, I knew the evening would require a dressier, mountain casual.
Upon leaving dinner I put on my scarf, my tailored wool pea coat that is a nice blend of classic structure but with modern twists, and finished it off with a pair of black leather driving gloves. My friend said it looked like I was heading out to the opera. Perfect.
My wife was also looking hawt and it was obvious we were turning heads.
At its core, this is Bozeman on a Saturday night.

I was lazy and used an internet photo, my Red Balls are a size medium. I wear size large in shirts and trousers, but the waders are a good fit over a baselayer and an insulating midlayer.they look like they have plenty of room to grow into
Have you checked out this guy yet? He's the son of a friend of ours.I kind of feel like I'm already living there...only with better fishing and skiing.

This got me to thinking, what was that saying? "I don't go for any of those sissy sports; I'm a fly fisherman."Seriously though, what is hardcore about fly-fishing?
What I see on the "Genryu Izakaya" YT channel looks hardcore to me. An "izakaya" is an informal Japanese bar that serves alcoholic drinks and snacks, like an Irish pub. These hardcore wilderness genryu (translated headwaters) anglers combine sawanobori (translated shower or waterfall climbing) with fishing and will hike 13 hours over extremely steep terrain to get to the water they want to fish. These two vids have English sub-titles but I enjoy their other videos even without being able to understand the dialogue and captions.Seriously though, what is hardcore about fly-fishing?
This...most of us are not the target demographic

Travers is "larger" than life. He might not even fit in @bennysbuddy 's "hotel" wadersBet Travers would never admit that.
Knowing a skwala hatch exists makes you “really in the know?”
And their sh*t looks and seems to function like everyone’ else’s stuff. Not saying I’ll never try it. If it’s good, it’s good. That said, it’s going to be tough for them to stand out. I see no innovation and their marketing is cringeworthy.
If you have to ask, were you ever core?If one used to be hard core do they get to keep that label for life even if they are no longer capable of doing hard core things?

Check out this one as they have to swim through a ravine @ about 11:16
Heavy rain and high water don't stop them
I wish I was 40 years younger and could do stuff like that again.

True. Typically an early to mid-April hatch, but once word got out dudes would try to will it into existence earlier and earlier. In 1990 nobody in Washington and few in MT even knew what a skwala was.Exact same thing I was wondering. I remember fishing the Bitterroot in March back in the 90's, when it was pretty much a "secret". Eventually people started showing up earlier and earlier. The last time I fished the Root during the skwala hatch was probably 8 or 10 years ago, in February, and there were tons of other boats. So no, I don't think that knowing the skwala hatch exists makes you "in the know"![]()
A spring snowstorm with a bit of flair?few in MT even knew what a skwala was.
