Re: Armor All on waders?

I just found the care directions for waders from Cabelas. Armorall is only to be used on rubber parts. I assume that would refer to bootfoot waders.

Re: Fishing on the Manistee River in MI

If you are interested in a float trip on the Manistee, p.m. me and I can give you a couple of names of guides who you would enjoy. Just a recommendation... nothing in it for me.

Re: Fishing on the Manistee River in MI

I believe that Fife Lake is very close to the Boardman, as well. The same T.U. group publishes a guide book for it too. Either river is great! I'd love to have a week or two to explore both.

Re: Tapered Leaders - which brand has least memory?

On stubborn leaders that don't straighten well with just my hands, I have used my leather tri-fold wallet. Since it rarely holds much money these days, might as well multi-task!
