Anywhere locally (SoCal) that sells these types of boots? I looked at REI website doesn't look like they have canyoneering boots. Would like to check it out as I may have found my next travel wading boot.

I'm using my canyoneering boots that stick to snot covered rocks like velcro. Those pair of canyoneering boots has been THE best investment I've made in fly fishing since I started the sport, bar none. Do you have a pic those boots particularly of those soles? I wonder why fishing company's haven't...

So have I. Not bad by Bishop standards.

I never had a problem with Simms vibram soles. I like to use rubber for travel, particularly international travel, as it dries quickly. Wet felt not only stinks up everything in your luggage but may pose problems at customs. I should have either brought my simms or the felt inserts.

Hey buddy. How you doing?

I really don't do FB much, so I don't know what he's posting there. I'm glad though that he did seem to remove most of the bad stuff from his site. I really didn't understand why he posted names and maps in the first place on his site many years ago as it just gives everything away for free. And wh...

I remember him. He did take off all the names off his site. I'm not too concerned anymore. Those outrageous claims he makes were true a few years ago. Those fish are now all but dead. Someone is going to be pretty disappointed when they book a trip or buy that video and only end up getting 6 inch fi...

Those "red Jeep style jacks" are dangerous from what I've read. Hi-Lift is the main brand and they work really well, but your vehicle must be able to accept them with reinforced lift points. And from what I've read, you should practice beforehand and view all warning material. They have a...

Have fun. Stay safe. I would love to do the same thing one day.

Welcome Mutt.

Neither. If you look hard enough last year's Simms headwaters are on sale for roughly the same price or cheaper than the freestone. Headwaters are goretex and US made.

Thanks for sharing Jim. That's a cool book. I think I'm going to have to use those Blurb services one day.

It can be done but it's more trouble than its worth.

If you plan on fishing the lower (or what is now called the middle) bring small flies 18 and under of various colors. Make sure you're fishing enough weight that flies are the bottom. You might get a hatch around noon or so, so bring some BWO dries size 18.

Good luck Devil Dog.
