Have fished Soho in TN in winter. This river is infected with didymo aka "rock snott", very slippery stuff. I woild not wade fish this river at any time without some sort of grip on the soles of the waders. Useing grips intended for slipping over boots works very well. I have a pair that was given me by a retired ice fisherman they are studded rubber soles that I slipped over felt waders. They ARE heavy and I had to go slow to prevent tripping but after getting used to them they helped get a really good purchase o n those rocks. I now have a pair of Orvis studded ecotrax that are somewhat less heavy but they are hard to breakin and stiff as boards. Use anything to prevent slips not only in-stream but also on the muddy banks and dry leaves on steep banks!Originally Posted by thehillbillyflyfisher
