[QUOTE="MDH, post: 60461, member: 23886"] I too have been in that position, (and yes trout fishing) unfortunately I've found there is no way to completely avoid it if you wish to be close to the water, and I think I've seen everyone I have fished rivers with do it to some degree, I broke 2 ribs in my best effort and I have done it a few times though not so bad since and I think I'm pretty agile so it's not hard to do. The best advice I can offer though is to buy good quality hiking boots, gumboots or hard soled work boots are far more prone to slipping on those slimy rocks than good hikers. Or if you plan to be in streams and exposed to a lot of those slippery surfaces for long periods fly fishing stores sell felt soled boots which offer possibly the best grip and could be worth the investment for piece of mind.
