That insulted you???

Chief, you know what I took your statement out of context and I am sorry. I was overly sensitive. Looking at this, I hope that one day I am smart enough to read before I write.

Doesn't take much of a person to make a mistake, all are succeptible..

Takes a big person to admit a mistake...

(not that my approval means squat, but I did notice the reading error and wondered.. )

I have alot of respect for trout fishermen, but there is just a little bit of irony in trout fisherman in Missouri and Arkansas worried about "invasive species". Thats exactly what trout in the ozarks are. When you introduce an invasive specie, even a desired one, more are almost sure to follow. However, with all the damage we have already done, we should go beyond reasonable effort to keep out more invasive species. If that means slipping around a bit, so be it. We are lucky to even have trout here.

A q-tip dipped in a cell suspension could harbor upward of 10^8 cells. Two felt boots certainly will soak up a few. Rather than forcing people to part with their choice of footwear, we should come up with an inovative way of ridding the felt of algae. A multiple soak treatment, or something.

I have decided that the best solution is to wet wade naked, then burn the rod, line and flies after each outing. I'm hoping this catches on, it'd be quite humorous to visit Bennett and watch...

So what will we do until someone comes up with an innovative way to rid the felt of algae?

You can choose to wear felt soles. You can chose to pee on the toilet seat as opposed to lifting it up. You can choose not to wash your hands after wiping your butt. I won't be applauding any of those decisions.

I feel you Cricket but what about your body hair? Are you going to burn that off too?

The author recommends a soak of 5% bleach, 5% saline, 5% detergent, in very hot water for a min. 40 minutes. While this probably would work just fine, I would question how many people would actually take the time to do this... Of course, you could just have 2 pairs, use interchangably, and make sure the felt is completely dry before your next trip. Then again, you could just ban them.
