Waders Suggestion?

[Travis Swift]

What are some good economical priced waders for fishing Taneycomo once or twice a year? I know nothing about them, do I want neoprene or something else? Should I buy the ones that already have boots built in or stocking foot and buy the boots separate? I'm talking about using them maybe 3 times per year max so I don't want to spend a fortune but want something that will last. Would prefer to purchase at Cabelas or Academy Sports. Suggestions please?

Academy has the caddis brand of breathable wader that has a pretty good price point. The neoprene waders might be too warm during the late spring summer and early fall months. Also the neoprene booted waders usually have a rubber soled boot that is pretty slippery for fishing Taney. Might want to consider stocking foot waders and maybe studded boots to help keep from slipping on the rocks down there. Wader boots usually have to be one size larger than your regular shoe size to account for room for the stocking foot of the wader.

Bass Pro has their Osprey breathable wader on sale right now for $90. Bought them for my wife and think they are better then my Simms Freestone, more features. They are stocking foot so you would have to buy a pair of wading boots. Get a size bigger then normal so you will have the extra room you will need in the toe box. Easy to walk in then boot foot style.
