Wading
6th of December 2022
Waders are an essential piece of gear for any fly fisher, allowing them to wade into the water and access those hard-to-reach fishing spots. However, waders are not immune to damage and will inevitably need some repairs at some point.
The good news is that repairing fly fishing waders is relatively easy and can be done with some basic tools and materials.
First, make sure that the repaired spot and the adhesive are completely dry.
Then, if you have a bath, fill it and submerge your waders in a way that some air is trapped inside them. You can then simply look if there's any air escaping.
If you don't have a bath, you can apply make some foam bubbles with dish soap, and apply it on your newly repaired spot. Push air that's inside your waders towards that spot and by looking at the bubbles you can see if air is escaping.
In conclusion, repairing fly fishing waders is not difficult and can save you the cost of buying a new pair. Just remember to let the adhesive dry completely before using your repaired waders, and you'll be back on the water in no time.
And who knows, maybe with your newly repaired waders you'll finally land that big one you've been chasing 😃. Good luck!
