Had a go recently wading with thigh waders on the Wye taking barbel and chub on the centrepin and float. Unfortunately not having chest waders meant that a good day on the float wasn't quite a red letter day as it should have been if I'd been closer and more in contact with my tackle and quarry. I'm about to buy some chest waders and thought I'd start with a relatively cheap pair and replace at a later date should I find myself using them a lot.
What I'm stuck for knowledge on however is how to go about the practical side of doing this. I'm referring to what kind of landing net to use as I've seen countless TV episodes where the angler uncouples a short almost trout like net to land fish so they can be unhooked safely and revived - and also whether chest waders have a bait pockets like a bait apron does to allow easy baiting etc.
Might be obvious to most but I'm in the dark, don't want to waste money buying ineffective gear etc and I'd really appreciate any advise proffered.
