Pere Marquette in october for the salmon run. My very first wading experience. The "Green Cottage Pool" thought me that you can't swim worth a dam in waders. I've got an eight weight rod and reel that have gravel scars on them from being used as a wading staff. Once your feet are floating its darn near impossible to get them back down to the bottom without some assistance; wading staff, buddy etc.
