I use a pair of Merrells boots if u r on slippery stuff would need something else but meets 80 percent of the use cases. I use them for hiking as well.

Funnily enough i was looking at some Merrells and they feel great, have heard good things, maybe they might be the way to go

ive got a pair of merrell hikers with vibram sole but i prefer to use hockey boots which have a sole to some footy/soccer boots for rockfishing(saltwater). They're super light so even if they get wet(which they will) you wont care.

if your fishing freshwater streams etc you cant go past a good pair of simms wading boots or high top merrels for wet wading with pants

Cheers Shazz, i don't do any freshwater fishing let alone wading (unless a big wave gets me on the beach)
are your Merrells light?

They sell them at BCF and Rays Outdoors BM, I wouldn't buy shoes online to save 20 or 30 $ as i like to try them on first
