Steelheading two years ago, I saw a young Idaho 20 something wearing just Neoprene waders, no shirt and no? It was quite a contrast to all the snow.

Be tough. Go regimental.

I'm with the guys in the cheap seats...for one day I would just wear my jeans and be done with it. Warm socks will take care of it. You are going into FALL conditions, not Winter. With 50 degree water you'll be just fine with jeans and breathable waders. Pack lite and have fun.

Heck I'm still wet wading and my local water temps have been in the 50's for weeks now.
Being on a tight budget I don't have the cash for cloths under the waders. I have to agree with J.C. on this. I bought a pair of sweat pants to wear around the house on those cold mornings and these are what I am wearing under my waders when it is really cold outside. They cost me about $8 at wally world and do very well.

Enjoying the joys of others and suffering with them- these are the best guides for man. A.E.
My solution has been cheap fleece pants with a drawstring waist, to which I sewed elastic strap "stirrups" to the cuffs. Personally, I'd avoid cotton sweat pants just in cast my waders sprang a leak.
Poly thermals, board shorts and socks.

I wear Hot Chilli's 9 months a year to regulate temp, dead of winter stay warm and mild summer temps stay cool and dry. I dont like bare skin in contact with my waders,so they fill the bill perfectly. If its too hot to wear em, its time to wet wade.
