Waders and boots, to be of any use, obviously must be kept dry inside. In warm weather one often finds himself so damp that he may suspect his waders of leaking although usually it is only perspiration. Waders thus dampened should be opened and hung up so the air can get at them. Waders that are actually wet inside demand more thorough treatment.

One of the most popular types of fish for anglers in the Everglades is the snook. This is because snook are wily fish that can be very persnickety about what bait that they are going to bite on. A fisherman can bring in a great deal of snook using one type of bait or lure on one day and then fall flat with that same bait or lure the next.

This can range from April to June but the season really starts in May.
