Mike,

This may sound crazy, but, I read it somewhere on the internet quite some time ago and have tried it and still use it. An older fly fisherman started having problems bending over to get his waders off and he tried something that makes his waders easier to put on and very easy to get his feet out of. What he did was this: When putting on his waders, he would slip a small plastic trash bag over each foot and when he pulled his waders on, they slid on easily and when he took them off, he just raised his leg and shook it and the waders slid right off. I have tried this and it works great plus I think the plastic bag helps to keep my feet warmer in winter time fishing and you can use the plastic bag to clean up litter at the access area. Just a thought that you might want to try and see if it helps in your situation.
