{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Wetsuit wading?

Before I had waders I used to wear my dad's old 7mil wetsuit bottoms (2 piece) wading off the Maine coast. Was... interesting. Worked fine but I'll stick with my waders now.

As the water temperatures drop quickly in the Potomac RIver (though the 80 degree days coming later this week might change that again...) I guess it's time to stop wet wading. 

Someone in the Potomac RIver Smallmouth Club told me decades ago that he never uses waders in the Potomac because the footing is so precarious due to slippery rocks and unseen holes, the likelihood of plunging in above the wader top is too great. I guess I unconsciously adopted that as gospel, though I'm now not so sure.

Anyway, it occurred to me that surf fishermen in the Northeast sometimes fish in wetsuits and I was wondering if anyone ever tried that around here. (Or anywhere else and might share their experiences.)
