I wear felt soles. After each trip I stand my waders up with a stout hanger and soak the bottoms of my boots in a basin pan with hot water and bleach. I'm sure others do not go to this extent to sterilize their felts, but I get peace of mind from it.

thank you for taking the time to do so. unfortunately, i think you are right about most people not going through the trouble of that when they get home.

worst case scenario is someone say fishing the KLG and then driving over right over to Black River or somewhere else that the disease has not yet been recorded recently.

DO NOT FREEZE IT!

Figures, I bought a really nice $200 pair of felt sole wading boots a few years ago. I wonder if there is a way to convert them.
