Do Gore Tex waders get as stinky as neoprenes? If so, how do you clean them? I don't own a set of breathables, but they are on my list. Another great advantage I see is that they pack better.

I second all the comments on studded wading shoes. They are like night and day compared to felt-only boots. The only problem I had was getting used to exactly how well they grip. I've almost gone down a couple of times because the studs grip so well I almost went down because of my forward momentum. The only spot I see that warrants extra caution with studs is dry smooth rocks - they are like ice when using studs.
