Waders are an absolute must for bank or beach fishing when you are most likely going to enter the water in some form or fashion. The waders I linked here are light weight and breathable which allow you to walk great distances without fatigue in all weather conditions. These waders are also designed for sand and mud which means they do not have felt under the boots. Felt on the boots of waders are ok for stream fishing (but I’d recommend the korkers for any rocky streams or rocks in general), and no felt is really ideal for sand or muddy embankments.
