Then there is in, my opinion, the weak sound byte slogan that a lot of the government agencies, Federation of Fly Fishers, and TU promote:
Always inspect, clean and dry all equipment.
On edit I added:
They don't directly promote using any chemicals which they fear will further damage the environment. Makes it almost impossible for a multi-day or multi-river trip unless you do have several sets of equipment to use.
sounds good but they never really explain well about how to clean out and flush the inside of boots or anything else.
Nor do they spend much about explaining what they mean by dry. Which is dry to the touch plus another 48 hours. Nor do they expound upon how felt soles are definitely a case of where complete drying to base of the material is apt to take longer.
But if they did they probably would loose the interest of most people anyways. Have I lost your interest yet?
Multiday trips do present a challenge.
