About the size thirteen waders mate, I had to go for stocking foot waders as i couldnt find any size 13 booted ones. I had to order in size 14 boots from the states  Thats what happens when you have boats as feet though  try sommers for some size 13 boots and waders, wont be a pretty price bill but will last ages  I've had my simms ones for coming on 2 years now and havent had a single tear or rip 

best reagards,

yes, thanks as always to Mike for hosting & hospitality. i had a cracking day out.

i tubed over to the margins at one point to stand up and remove a jacket (it was hot!). Disturbing lots of silt & weed in process. Amazed to see a good-sized 'bow swimming right up to my fins as i stood, hoovering up wee bits of food all around. no fear at all! mike was saying that the fish do this when he's cutting weed -- they've learned to associate that kind of disturbance with easy pickings.

cheers

A big thanks for a fun day  I really enjoyed it....who could have thought fishing could be any more relaxing. It's just like taking your favourite armchair along 

Thanks for letting me try out the Caddis Iain....I think both that and the sparton( or expedition) would be equally good for me, although I did think the Caddis moved that bit faster. Maybe I was in a more upright position in the Caddis now I think about it.

Did some more searching and found the Caddis II for a good price (I think) in USA. With the conversion as the $ stands just now, the price comes in at £90 delivered and at only 15 lbs packed weight I'll be able to bring that back with me from Florida next month 

And thanks to the other Iain? Sorry I'm crap with names, for the green traffic light buzzer 

And one last thanks to Mike for getting us started in tube fishing...I expected to be thrown a fishing tube and told to get on with it but it was good to be shown around properly and shown how to do things properly.

Hi John.
Glad you had a good day & that the trip was worth it - I know it was your first time but I'm sure that you will soon appreciate the opportunities and flexibility that tubing brings to fly-fishing.

Hopefully see you at the next gathering.

Just to add to what has been said, thanks again Mike.

I'll do a Barbie at the next one weather permitting
