What you do is you turn them inside out and fill the feet with water. Get a black permanent marker and make a reasonable circle around where the water spots form. Dry out your waders and work the glue into the circled material. Bingo.

After that, don't walk around without your boots on. Not even to put them on. Do not let them touch the ground, and you wont have to patch often.

Probably little bits of gravel. Make sure they are empty when you put them on and strap them down tight!

Or you could stop catching steelies on a fly rod. That would probably do it too.
