New waders made me fish
With the summer heat in full effect and the recent rain I figured conditions were brutal for trout. But I woke up Sunday morning really wanting to test out my new waders. My old pair of Hodgman H3 had a decent run, but last time out I was left with a wet crotch. And the felt liner on one boot was coming off. Sticking to my brand I ordered a pair of their Aesis Sonic waders. They came with interchangeable rubber and felt soles. I kept the rubber soles on for this venture.
I didn't really plan on catching fish due to conditions but I headed up north to a TCA figuring maybe there's a shot. Water was surprisingly low and not running too fast. The water temp around 9:30 was already 65. Ended up hooking into three trout. Lost the first one because it was so unexpected, landed the second, the third jumped out of the water and spit the hook.
I had my GoPro going for the one, but honestly it's not my best work because I didn't expect to catch anything. It was a good few hours though and the new waders turned out to be quite comfortable.
