Due to age, accidents & general wear and tear, the old legs don't work as well as they used to. I've seen my wading abilities dwindle in the last 10 years to the point that I can't wade the freestone rivers and creeks around home. I liken my wading to a drunk trying to walk on ball bearings. Not a pretty sight. So I've resorted to using a garden kneeling bench at streamside. Right side up, you can sit on it and upside down you can kneel on it for gardening and such. I was afraid that when I lost my ability to wade, that river and stream fishing would be a thing of the past. However, the kneeling bench has re-opened that fishing venue for me. If anyone else has experienced similar problems, I would heartily recommend the bench. Here is a link to the bench I use.
