Terry Dodge Posted April 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2011 I was snagged up on a chain-link fence on the bottom, so my arm was in there for awhile. Just so you know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terry Dodge Posted April 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2011 Reminded me of the days of dunking my arm into a big barrel filled with ice and beer searching for that special can of Old Milwaukee beer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike G Posted April 13, 2011 Report Share Posted April 13, 2011 Thanks for the report Terry. A lot of guys do not give us water temps as accurate as that. You kept your instrument in the water long enough to get a true reading. Good work. BTW, that chain link fence reminded me of an old trick for getting a supply of gear. Anchor a section of it in a good fishing hole on Friday afternoon. Return early on Monday with a grappling hook and haul it out. Over the weekend it should have collected a nice assortment of lures from unsuspecting weekend warriors. You have my permission to do a video on this one.

ronk Posted April 13, 2011 Report Share Posted April 13, 2011 I had to stick my arm down in the water to retrieve a lure ..........Still cold. I once fell out of my floatube into 41 degree water.Very invigorating.Did you roll up your sleeve first? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry Dodge Posted April 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2011 I had no sleeve. It was pretty warm on that day and I only have neoprene waders. I make sure I only wear a shot-sleeved shirt and shorts this time of year when the air temp is much higher than the water temps. When I first posted the "River Dance" video someone on here brought up the question on whether or not I was breaking a "man law"? Maybe I am but I'm not silly in the head. If we ever get a day in the 90's this time of year, I'll probably be naked inside my neoprene's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't understand why some of you guys insist on having just 1 pair of waders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry Dodge Posted April 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2011 ronk - I hate waders. I wet-wade over 90% of the time when I'm out so I see no use for anything else but neoprene's for the cold water months. I'll be out of the neoprene's and wet wading by the end of April. Also........I don't talk to my wife, how do you think we're able to celebrate our 25th later this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronk Posted April 14, 2011 Report Share Posted April 14, 2011 Terry I prefer wet wading too but only in high summer when both the air & water temps are equally warm.In spring I start with neos until the water gets into the upper 50s/low60s when I go to breathables until it warms more for comfortable wet wading.Vice versa for the fall to winter seasons.
