How many of you wear a PFD Personal Flotation Device of the inflatable fishing vest or Sospender type when wading big streams or rivers? Choices: (A) I wear one (B) Never (C) There too darn uncomfortable How many use a wading staff and what type do you prefer? Thanks for any replies guys, this is an important safety issue and I know I can get some honest replies here. Good fishin' Dark Hollow

I never wear any PFD type devices but I use a wading staff all the time now as since I have gotten older. I bought a Folstaf 3/4 inch style and will never wade again with out one. http://www.flytyerscarryall.com/folstaf.htm
Any day with a rod in the water is better than a day at work

(B) I sometimes carry a graphite golf club with the head broken off for a wading staff. Light, cheap and easily replaced if i forget it.

A But only on big water (like 16 mile) I always use a cane since I can't walk on dry land without one.

B, never used one Never used a wading staff, per se, though I've been known to go find a big old stick before trying to cross high, fast water. If that counts, mark me as yes.
