Much has been said already on importanceofflylines, so let's move on to such things as hip boots and waders. I've taken to lightweight chest waders(11 total ozs., for back packers) which are worn with a pair of old shoes. Wear a pair of socks under and over the waders. Also, since they are almost paperthin, (but tough) wear two pairs of trousers, or ski pants. They'll get you out where the larger fish are, places cellent. At least with the right brand names: Fenwick, Orivs, in addition to Shoreline, Browning mentioned above. But, the price range is high, perhaps $50 up for a fly rod, and little less for spin rod. If too high for you, lookatthe less expensive models, such as Garcia, Shakespeare, Dawai, Berkeley, Lookfortip action; it should be flexi- ble enough to handle a day's casting, but with enough ‘‘backbone”’ to hook a striking fish. I once missed half a dozen strikes in a row on one stream before realizing it was my willowy rod. Upon switching to a BrowningSilaflex, MEN'S & LADIES’ Reg. 48.00 s her in sizes XS-XL. Choose from hoodedor full others can’t get. They'll also allow you to walk some distance, along the Utah Lake or Strawberry’s off-the- highwayhotspots, without floundering under weight of the traditional (heavyweight) chest waders. Made by Royal, they've been tested in Alaska, and other rugged waters for endurance. Since cost is about $49 it is for the serious angler. Hip boots at least are a mustfor any fisherman of any ability or age. You can't do without them. Just too many side streams and puddles to get around. But warn a new angler about moving slowly, since branches or “THE NATURAL” : any price for hop boots, but a sale might arise (if you keep vigil) for anglers like this age Raat inleton Sia Beach Next, spinning reels: I used to use nothing but the Mitchell-Garcia 300, and not even a Wasatch Fault earthquake could change it. But, I began having trouble with drag adjustment, and parts which broke rather easily. Too easily. My replacement, some four reels later, is an easy hands-down winner: Zebco Cardinal. It retrieves smoothly (very important in lure presentation), has smooth drag adjustmentfor fighting fish, and bears up under a hard day’s fishing. It had to be notonly a good rell, but a great one. As I'd experienced trouble with other Zebo reels years before. It seemstheline caught easily inthe movable gears, and wasnot easily extricated. For this reason I do not like around $6-$8. haven’t given up for 1979 spring spawning season. Somewalleyesstill have ‘‘green eggs, an indication run is not over yet.
