FFR 2006: Chota 2007

August 26, 2006 By: Marshall Cutchin

I introduce myself to most folks at the FFR as an ex-saltwater guide who has fallen into a few trout rivers, and this usually ellicits a kindly response from the trout gurus, particularly makers of waderwear. The folks at Chota took great pains to explain the features of their Steelheader Boot Foot Waders, which just happened to be named by Field & Stream as one of their best outdoors products of the year. Some of the key features:
— High-traction hard rubber soles designed to accept the addition of hardened steel cleats.
— Articulated knees with vented knee pads.
— Easily convertible from chest-high to waist-high waders with a unique adjustable suspender design.
