    Many wading boots are of fabric uppers..... perhaps harder to clean, etc. The old standby Danners are very easy to clean..... I was about to toss my very old Danners, but they'll do just fine for a waterway that is infested with something...... and they'll be used only for that waterway....

    IMO, a little reallocation of time (tie one less fly) and money (sell one reel or rod you don't use) can go a long way to prevent the spread of NZMS, et. al.

    I just don't know why this "problem" is being made so difficult. Buy a few pair of wading boots if ya don't want to sterilze after each use...... it's so simple.
    My bad..... I really meant to say "my old Weinbrenners", not Danners......

    Freezing your gear works too for NZMS. However, doesn't work for chytrid virus, so the best thing to do is decontamintate with Metaquat.
