A wading belt is just a nylon strap with a buckle. It just keeps the waders snug against your body so you don't get a whole torrent of water filling your waders up in a second and dragging you under. Enough got in that even my socks were soggy. Luckily I had some scrubs from the days lab in my car that I could change into.
I wasn't all the way up above Rick's Spring, though that's a good area. I'll just say I was between 3rd dam and Temple Fork. Really any area with pocket water is going to generally have some good cutthroat. I think it's definitely worth your while to go upstream from the dams.
No skunk or moose encounters, though I watched a skunk wrestle with a dead carp that was bigger than he was up at Oneida a few weeks ago. That was quite the site, I was bummed I forgot my camera.
I've always wanted to go to the Sawtooths, maybe someday, so far I've only ventured into The Winds and The Uintas.
