Before purchasing a wader it is always a good idea to determine if you actually need one. For example, some anglers, due to how or where they fish, might be able to get away without purchasing them… The following situations are where an angler likely can avoid purchasing waders:

Warm Weather:

When fishing in warm weather and the water is warm, anglers frequently avoid using waders. Indeed, in warm weather where the water is warm, going "wader free" is generally the most enjoyable way to fish unless the angler needs the protection a wader provides (such as to prevent from getting stung by something or to avoid picking up leaches).

But it is possible to wade fish in colder water if the weather is warm, although the tactic I describe next does limit an anglers flexibility. Here's how to do it. Buy a high-quality wading boot with excellent traction. Also buy quality a pair of quality neoprene wet socks that are thick and designed for very cold water. The use of wet socks are vital for this method to work. What happens is that the neoprene socks trap the water around the foot and keep the feet toasty warm, sort of functioning as a heated sock.

An Angler Only Float Fishes: 

If an angler only float fishes, there's no reason to buy waders. Since many float anglers do fish from shore at times, to stay warm during that time just use the tactic described above to fish in colder water when the weather is warm.

After reading about the three above situations where anglers can avoid using waders, many new anglers might be tempted to "shelve" the idea of buying waders altogether. And you know what, it isn't a terrible idea.

However, by forgoing purchasing waders, an angler does limit their flexibility in terms of where they can fish. Still, if an angler doesn't mind limiting their flexibility, the purchase of waders can be avoided...or at least deferred for a while.
