Sounds like fun.
My suggestion would be to bring the waders and wading boots along in case the weather is not so great and if you plan on getting out and wading a lot. The thing I would caution you on is (without starting a debate) waders can incapacitate you to some degree by chance you fall in. Just last year an experienced guide on the South Fork drowned while wearing waders. I don't know the specifics or if the waders had anything to do with it, but be careful. Wear a PFD regardless while wearing waders. If the weather is warm enough, and sometimes when it isn't, I wear pants or shorts that dry quickly and boots or sandals made for wading.
Good Luck.
