What is a life jacket used for?
A life jacket is the buoyancy aid for boats, wading, and any session where a fall is into deep water.
How is a life jacket different from similar gear?
Safety wear, not a fishing vest’s pockets. Wear it, do not sit on it.
When should you use a life jacket?
Put it on before the boat leaves, and on wading when the river is pushy or you fish alone.
What problems does a life jacket solve?
It keeps you at the surface when waders fill or a boat dumps you, which pockets full of lead will not.
