I went on a drift on the Skagit last week. We stopped often and cast spinners and spoons. From 4:00am until 4:00 on the river. I was wearing my Stearns Float Coat and a nice Filson felt hat (cowboy type). It poured and poured and poured. I was comfortable the whole time. Did get my wool gloves wet tailing a few chum, buth otherwise very comfortable all day. Had a slipover shirt underneath and my neo waders.

Don't always have to spend big $$ to stay dry.
