Three European anglers on the island at Rainbow in the height of summer in over 35 degree heat in the middle of the day hoisting a carp about on the bank pulling every Jimi Hendrix Fender Stratocaster stock image pose for 20 minutes+ getting their trophy shots and not once dousing it in water, all three of them were all having a bash at their trophy pics before they then got in the lake with it pulling every Steve Vai flying V pose as they'd exhausted Jimi's catalog for probably another 10 minutes, I shouted across from Peg 1 more than a few times to get it back in the water and let it go the fish was over 86lb and one of the known mirrors. 
I fell out later that evening with one of them 'the non fishing member of the group' came into my swim that night pissed up trying to share a drink from a bottle of home brewed spirit he had poured to tell me how great they all were and superior anglers to everyone on the lake as they had landed the biggest know mirror at the time, he was politely asked to F--K off out of my swim and take his pig swill with him before he got ironed out.

Absolutely nothing to do with keeping dry and everything to do with looking carpy.

I would always put my waders on these days. Don't need to unnecessarily get my trouser and shirt wet and slimy. So you would see me out my vass waders on aswell but not for the photo of waders

I agree, especially at night. No way I'm climbing in to my sleeping bag with fish slime and wet legs! Easier to put waders on than it is to change clothes.
