Ban of Felt Soled Waders....thoughts?

**Wooly Bugger** · 10-19-2011, 05:58 PM

Looks like Missouri is banning felt soled waders beginning March 1, 2012. What are your thoughts? Is it enough? What about shoes laces or other equipment? What about safety? Many believe felt soles provide a better grip.

this subject has been beat up, spit out and regurgitated 20 times on here....for the record i think it is stupid

Ya, agreed HuntinDog. Like any invasive species can't tag along in all the nooks anre crannies (as Wooly suggested).

Nothing compares to felt studded. Dumb law.

Thanks guys. I am new to these forums so I apologize for the redundancy of this topic. Can't believe this issue has been going on that long.

as i get older i have more hidden nooks and crannies and folds on my own body..who knows what could live under the spare tire...if i go wet wading i could support a hole colony of critters in the hair on my ass...i guess i should be banned from fishing in missouri too

I think this is one of the best responses I have ever read.....thanks huntindog for the laugh. I even have my wife laughing now too (even though she has no idea what I am talking about).

Me three. My suspicion is that more is carried in the folds of the tongue and inside the boot than in the felt, but I'm not the judge. A lot's changed since I was President!
