For river fishing, waders are about staying comfortable and stable while you work seams, riffles, and deeper runs. Since the retrieved set is mostly flies, the best practical matches are patterns that help you fish rivers effectively from the bank or while wading.
Switch to dry flies when trout are visibly rising or you see a hatch. In this set, Snow Shoe Yellow Sallie - Solitude, Spotts’ Western Green Drake - Fulling Mill - Mayfly Dry Fly, or Harrop's CDC Biot Emerger BWO - Solitude - Mayfly Dry Fly are better when fish are feeding on the surface or in the film.
