During the spring, summer and fall, YES! I just took them out this week as I got skunked for the first time since March and will not see too much weekday action until we get the daylight coming back after Christmas and some warmer temps. On weekend trips I tend to load up with extra gear but the every day gear is just a rod, reel, and full vest. Tall mud boots in the truck bed in lieu of waders for quickie after work sessions.
