Nice finds! I've used waders in a creek when it's in the low 40s and it sucked, lol. However this is the creek that produced all BIM stuff and killer pontil shards. As long as I can regulate when my legs are getting too cold in the water, I'll keep wading, especially if there is pontil potential! Usually for safety purposes, I take breaks out of the water and wear warm thick pants so that I don't get too cold for as long as possible as well as sticking close to the bank when I can.

I take all those precautions as well I've been in the river when it was 32 degrees out lmao but never more then 3 ft from the shore and I have my electric Milwaukee coat on and the water is never more then knee deep. I only go to two spots in the river I don't trust anywhere else on the river.I wish there were creeks around my area like in the south in Alabama and other southern states I've yet to find any that is.
