Waders
Buckhunter.. I use waders quite a bit. Had a pair of proline. Get a good pair of waders. Don't waste the money on them. Plan to spend about 150 bucks and get a pair that has some cordura on the outside. The neoprene waders are great but a little more prone to tearing etc. My prolines lasted exactly a week when they ripped in the crotch. That was a real takeup when I went out after a baldpate. The company replaced them after some bull..the replacement pair didn't last through the season. The ones I am using now I acquired from Cabela's and have had them for 3 years...Still as good as new. Oh BTW get as much insulation in the boot as you can afford and make sure the boot is not tight on your foot. And consider getting a pair of the fleece pants with foot stirrups to wear under the darn things. You'll be toasty warm most of the time. The surprising thing about waders is that you will be warmer standing in the water than on the marsh. Air is usually colder when I hunt than the water is. Carry your gun on a sling and use a walking staff when in the water...just in case!!
