In order to be a true sportsman, you shouldn't wear
waders unless you are likely to die of hypothermia in
five minutes or less. If you aren't, then you should
collect in shifts and warm up during on-land time. I
mean how else is a self respecting gator, leech, or
fish going to have a chance to score!!!

Any water over 55 F around here is like being in
something tropical. Unless you can get windburn and
frosbite at the same time you really haven't been
collecting in winter.
