Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} DIY River Crampon Boots

Another update: I had the boots out on the upper Potomac Saturday and Sunday, all 10 of the plates are still in the soles. The addition of more/recessed screws seemed to drastically help. Surprisingly, the traction was not as good as with the sheet metal screws sticking out, I may add some more screws to see if this helps.

Another modification that may be worth making would be to recess the actual plates into the sole slightly. I don't know how well this would work, but maybe a dremel to cut the tread where the plates sit would prevent grass/fly line/etc. from getting stuck between the plates and sole. Don't own a dremel, so I think these are going to be left as is for now.
