Felt soled boots banned from streams in Maryland, Vermont and Alaska.

If you haven't seen this, I thought I would let you know, many states may follow suit as well. Probably will not apply to most but those who hike in the areas that have streams near by and caught with felt liners in boots could get into trouble if the foot police catch you.Anyway my 2 cents.

Maryland is about to become the first state to enforce a ban on a type of foot gear the organism uses to hitchhike from stream to stream: felt-soled fishing boots.Similar bans will take effect April 1 in Vermont and next year in Alaska.
