So now that some Fall/Winter weather is moving in where is everybody fishing? Open water, hitting the deep channels or headed to the calmer waters of the rivers? My first Winter here in Maryland so I'm looking for the wisdom of some old yak anglers to steer me away from any unnecessary hardship. By the way, anyone know where I can pick up a good quality but fairly inexpensive drysuit?

Inexpensive and drysuit cannot be used in the same phraseology...this time of year is transitional...fish can still be in fairly shallow waters depending on the temps...hard to go wrong with following the birds, though...some of us fish all winter long- good long John's and good breathable stocking foot waders with dry top works for me...Last edited by ronaultmtd; 11-30-2016, 07:03 PM."Lady Luck" 2016 Red Hibiscus Hobie Outback, Lowrance Hook2-7TS

As far as "cheap" drysuits go, I would definitely research reviews and all that, as there are a few 2-300$ suits with 1 year warranties on ebay and amazon which may or may not be OK (probably not). The lowest I would go would be something from mythic drysuits, since they seem to be OK, and have been around for a few years now. I saw a few kokatat suits on ebay for 2-300$ less than brand new, some with 1 year warranties, others that were blemished returns with "full" warranties, so make sure you research and contact the seller to make sure. I went with this http://www.paddleva.com/shop/all/APP...suit-tangerine it's the kokatat 3L angler paddling suit, it has the lifetime warranty, is made in the U.S., and from this site, is about $100 cheaper than most other places. Check around that site (paddleva), kayakacademy, and others to find used or deeply discounted drysuits, and always research what warranty comes with them. Still not cheap by any means, but I was OK with spending that sort of money for something guaranteed for life. Also, I know a friend of mine (silasvirus) who has the stohlquist EZ and likes it a lot, it's about the same price I believe.

There are a lot of inexpensive waders out there, you just give up breathability. I did a little test at the end of the summer with my nicer waders and with the belt cinched tight almost no water made it past while sitting in a creek for maybe 5 min. I bought a semi dry top to go with it but have yet to test it with full submersion. The lack of a relief zipper killed my excitement over the waders/dry top combo however.Drew
