Default Re: Pike in the heat (6/19/16)

I wear shorts under my waders. It does help a little. Eventually though your body starts to overheat since the waders don't allow your body to cool down. I've had days where I had to sit down and take a 5-10 min breather. I'm in good shape for my age but the heat can be tough. I know when I get back to my car and take my pulse, often I'm 130-140 beats per min. I crank the AC and cool down on the way home. Got to drink water too. Unfortunately you have to wear waders because that bankside vegetataion is rough with waist high poison ivy, stinging nettle not to mention all sorts of biting bugs.
