Come Join Us for Gore-Tex Wader Repair 11/14/19
Come join us for a very interesting and informative meeting on care and repair of Gore-Tex Waders!
Gabe Schubert, representative for Simms Fishing Products, the leader in USA made wader manufacturing, will be on hand to walk you through how to care for, and what you can do to repair Gore-Tex waders.
Ever wonder how you find yourself with leaky waders when you didn’t snag them on barb-wire or run a sharp stick into your shin? It’s a common problem, as we all know that sooner or later, a pair of waders are going to spring a leak. But what can be done, short of sending them into the manufacturer and going through a repair process? Especially if you’re in the thick of the season and don’t have the time to be with-out.
You will learn what are the common causes of leaks, how to identify and repair, how warranties work, and how to care for your waders to maximize your investment of high quality Gore-Tex waders.

Invasive Species April 8th Presented By AJ Leiden Beaver Creek AIS Coordinator
Whether they come in ballast water, on the hulls of recreation boats or from the water of an angler’s bait bucket, many non-native species such as zebra mussels and Eurasian water milfoil have found their way into Wisconsin’s waterways. Their presence can cause severe damage to local ecosystems, industry and tourism. However, the Wisconsin DNR is part of a strong partnership of public and private stakeholders in Wisconsin committed to an effective strategy of prevention, containment and control. The more you know about these invaders, the more you can do to help stop the spread to Wisconsin’s precious waters.
