OK all you duck hunters and fly fishermen. I'm in need of a good pair of chest waders for a salmon fishing trip to NY in October. I stopped by Bass Pro and looked but couldn't really make up my mind. They don't have the same waders in store that they do in their online catalog. But anyway, questions. I've figured out that the ones with the built in boot bottoms are a ton heavier than the others with a lace on booty. They also seem more forgiving and manuverable. My brother tells me I need felt bottoms to fish in all the rocks. Tell me about your waders and experiences. He says breatheable and stay away from the neophreme.
