Default A hole in my breathable waders

Put a hook through my breathable waders and now they are not so waterproof. What do I do? Is there a doctors book of home remedies solution, or go to the fly fishing shop and buy a repair kit?

Not really big but it was a streamer. Haven't tried silicone or anything yet. Just wanted to hear from the experts.

Aquaseal is what I use. Works like a charm.

Yup, Aquaseal all the way. Turn them inside out and apply a nice thick goop about 1/2 an inch around the hole.

Wholesale has it but you'll most likely find it in the camping section where they keep the tent repair supplies.

To try to explain how that streamer ended up in my waders would only remove any doubt of your suspicion.

Is mama gonna let you out this fall?

Maybe..
There's always that chance.
If those deer/elk are causing you problems up at the farm let me know.
