Product Details

Korkers River Ops Wading Boot - Black

If your fishing involves real walking down banks, over cobble, across slick ledges the River Ops is made for that pace. It’s built to feel secure underfoot, supportive through uneven steps, and protective when the riverbed is rough and unpredictable.

    1. Supportive, stable feel designed for long wade days
    2. Protective build for rough bottoms and repeated impact
    3. Comfortable for anglers who hike, move, and cover water
  • The goal is simple: conserve energy and keep your footing consistent. A boot that fits well and supports you properly makes every part of the day better cleaner wades, fewer slips, less fatigue, and more focus on reading water and making good casts. The River Ops is a strong choice for anglers who aren’t just standing in one run, but moving, exploring, and fishing hard from morning to last light.

    • Secure fit helps reduce foot fatigue over time
    • Built for anglers who want dependable performance without fuss

  • This boot is also a practical pick for mixed conditions. Rivers change quickly, rock to gravel to mud to boulder gardens and a stable boot gives you the confidence to keep moving without second-guessing every step.

    Best For

    • Walk-and-wade anglers covering lots of river

    • Mixed terrain: cobble, gravel, slick rock, uneven bottoms

    • Anyone upgrading from a boot that feels soft, unstable, or tiring

    "Armor for your feet!"

    Review: I fish the Deschutes a lot and the abrasive basalt just eats wading boots! The hard sides of the River Ops keep the boot and my feet protected. They also have a very supportive ankle that stands up to the tough wading on the D.

    "Excellent"

    Review: The Korker River Ops are really great boots. After a couple of uses they are broken in and very comfortable in and out of the river. And Gorge Fly Shop's service was impeccable.
