I'm with you Bubba! When it's 102 outside in the shade at 5pm, a vest is just too much. I use a fanny pack for bass fishin' along the small lakes I fish. Since I don't need to carry 500 variations of a mayfly and one about 20 different flys will generally work on the warm water guys. It's al lot easier to tolerate the vest when your standing in 65 degree water!
