Let me figure out what I need, probably #7 @ 8 ft for woods fishing and size 12 hip boots for starters.
I can't help you on the hip boots, I would go with chest waders if I were you. But... I have several 7-8 rod and reel set ups

No, this is my current bobber and steelhead setup. The fly guys out fish my entry level rig 6-1.

My buddy and I did well on the white perch today. The dirty bastard out fished me 17-12.

I picked up a few more pieces of chrome over the past few days in the rivers. White Zonkers were the ticket.
Hit the river for some sub freezing Walleye this morning. Took a touch over an hour to get my 6
Got out early, around 500 am and fished till a little after daylight. The bite died at sun up, but the hour before daylight was a good one. Got a big girl then got a 17 in and missed one the cast after catching the smaller one. The big one hammered the rogue.. Mite try again tom morn b4. Its been a bit since they hit like that. The big one had a tag on it. Odnr taged some at alum

Went and caught about 500 grass shrimp down at the Delaware bay earlier this afternoon. The white perch prefer them a lot more then blood worms. Going fishing tomorrow morning but with this cold weather, I don’t expect we will catch a lot. Supposed to be warmer Saturday...if the fishing still doesn’t heat up by then, I’m going to wait a week of so for the water temps to warm up a bit. When the fishing is hot, you can get a 25 fish limit in about an hour with a lot of doubles on a top and bottom rig. The net pick was one sweep with the net! Only took about 20 minutes to get all the bait we’ll need for several fishing trips!

Heck of a jug run last night. We ended up catching between 25-30 fish total. Released a couple in the 20lb range and several small fish. Kept 15 for the freezer mostly nice blues with a few smaller channel cats. They wanted live bream last night. Still can't believe we didnt have a flathead show up with as many bream as i had drifting. Most were already spawned out but still lethargic. Water down here took a steep dip in temperature slowing everything back down. None the less we had a great time on the water.

I snuck out for an hour and change on Saturday before the rain hit because the river was borderline good on the gauges. Since I've started tracking the CFS on the USGS online gauge, this is the fastest flow I've fished and had success on crappies. Weird bite, though. Fish were sitting really deep, it took several depth adjustments on the indicator to get on them. Nothing huge but came close to double figures in short time.
This was the fly pattern I was using, but I was using chartreuse/white on Saturday.

I took a few casts this afternoon. half dozen runts and this one.
Got a 4 man limit of warreye today in 3 hours
Hot the river again this a.m. It took about 20 minutes to get my first 5, then about an hour to get my 6th
Went after some local crappie tonight, got into them right before dark.
Despite a shitty weather day the walleye were very hungry.
