I haven't (thank goodness) had to buy waders recently (been about 4 years since my last purchase).
However, I recall that some wader and boot manufacturers were involved in the chemical test that DFG performed with volunteers in Putah creek a few years back. (as they experimented with solutions, strengths and washing, freezing methods trying to see which was best for use...
Wouldn't it be great if the manufacturers of both boots and waders could add a label or a set of instructions for killing or disinfecting these products after use in NZMS waters. I think it would be in their best interests to do such a thing.
Would this effort be at all valuable in helping slow down the spread?
Maybe they are already doing this in which case I apologize for the use of bandwidth.
Also, as more rivers become infected then the odds of all other rivers becoming infected increase as well... since other transport vectors would undoubtedly be involved (other river users besides fishermen - boaters or all types, people, pets and wild animals & birds).
Just my .02 cents worth
