gone fishing

So here we are...fishing away. No bites mind you but Seb didn't mind. He had fun anyways. 

and me ? Well, I was killing time with the binoculars. I noticed this man on this zodiak raft looking thing. We had seen a few on the lake the day before. I zoomed in as close as I could. 

 I basically stalked people coming in and out of the lake in these things with my binoculars, ( and there were quite a few) until I realised that you sit in waders with your legs hanging off the end and just use flippers to move around. Crazy cool....

Then checked on line at the local sporting good store and there it was. They only cost about 200, not bad considering a set of waders was listed at 80 euros. Anyhoo, thought it was pretty darn practical for the occasionsal fisherperson with a small car.

And then I came across this picture on line ....

I was like, NO WAY would I be hanging my feet in the water with big old muskies like that lurching around! NO WAY! 

In anycase, I had to laugh because I couldn't think of many people in the U.S. using this thing. 

Jeff and Mark...have you ever seen it? 

Or is this some european thing for men 

who want to get that leg workout while fishing.....
