I wish I'd have known that when I was able to wade. Thanks for posting. It makes sense. But DO continue to use your staff.
That's a great tip; will have to give it a try. I fished with Mr. Murray years ago; he moved in the stream like a grizzly, velcroed to the rocks.

I just fear some anglers might believe that now they might not need a wading stick.
I always take mine.

I believe that same tip is in a book by Charles Brooks I have.
Thirty years ago some of my fly fishing and non-fly fishing buddies made fun of me for using a wading staff. I was only in my 30s then and they thought it was for old men. But, I can't tell you how many dunks it has saved me from over the years.
I've come to appreciate a wading staff, and I use it on the upstream side, and the rod extended downstream. Almost like a four point stability.
Well, you would think that someone as smart as me would have known all about this ...! Well, did not.
Thanks for the tip and although I do the wading staff thing, going to try this first chance. For me the only concern would be falling and possibly breaking my fly rod in the process. (O.K. to break a leg or an arm, but the fly rod ... never!)
Don't want to hijack the thread, but can anyone recommend a reasonably priced collapsable wading staff? Good idea about the rod, too!
