I’m hitting the Miramichi River next week for salmon & my guide advises me to have felt soles on my waders. PROBLEM I have Helly Hansen PVC boot foot waders & was wondering if anyone had a suggestions on what to use for a cement, if a cement will stick, and if boot insoles are OK to use? A cheap set of crampons might be a viable alternative if all else fails. HEEEEELLLLLLLPPP!!!. LOL Jamie

Felt soles are a must on the Miramichi. I have a home there and fish the river quite often. I have never tried crampons.
Some indoor/outdoor carpet without the foam back and some contact cement will do the trick quite nicely. That’s what I use.
Good luck.
Where are you going to be fishing, anyway?
With what outfitter?
Thanks,Bob. Staying with a friend in Sillikers. Guide is none other than mar from the chat room (Stephen Sprague). Stopping off at my wife’s grandmother’s to say hello in Chatam on the way up. Hoping this weather doesn’t make the river too much higher!!! Jamie

Well, I hope all conditions are good for you. It’s too bad. I was suppose to be going down next week but work commitments say otherwise. The wife is going by herself but she doesn’t fish. What a waste. LOL
