We provide wading gear on every trip, so you don’t need your own. That said, if you have a pair that fits well, bring them. Waders are helpful even on float trips for loading and unloading the boat in shallow water. In warm weather (late spring through summer), wading socks with waterproof hiking boots work fine for most wade trips.
