Rainbows

I was wondered about you last night when we were looking towards the creek from our house and could see lightening popping in the distance and then a double rainbow. And you found rainbows at the end, very cool!

First time at the ford?

When I come back from where you took those pics and close my eyes, all I see is rainbows

Not a dig on you but I've always wondered why guys wear waders on waters that don't allow wading.
That first picture has three guys in waders.

I wear waders at RF all the time. Neoprene keeps you warm!

Obligatory:

I take it you have not ventured into the upper east side of RF. Many years ago I was walking through the cattails several yards from the creek and stepped into a waist-deep hole. Was not a pleasant experience - especially the smell.

That is so we can tell the locals from the city folk!

Even if you don't step into the water, you'll step into the mud when you're releasing fish.

And waders will keep the ticks off, come summer time.

This is my 1st time this year. Fished there last year (my 1st year of fly fishing) and never did very well. Landed 6 on Wed and 3 on Thurs morning. Thurs were all on dries. So cool.

Muskrat holes on the way into the fishing spots. I ended up in one and went up to the top of my waders. Very glad that I wore them.

Good to know that on RF.
I know places like that as well.

Way to go!

I fished the ford once and was glad I wore my waders. Fell into a few holes at 2 or 3 am when it was pitch black out. I was shocked I didn't break an ankle or leg, so being dry was an added bonus.

I used to wear hip boots (bust wet brush, kneel in the mud, tick repellent (that's a no-shoot). Hippers worn out now I wear waders for all the same reasons including protection from falling into a muskrat hole

Agreed
And I'm pretty sure Ira was glad he wore his after he jumped out on that rock...
