Got a feeling I'm being set up here but ........As deep as feels safe, depending on current and river bottom structure. In still water with firm underfoot, to within 4 inches of top of chest waders... in the sea , not deep at all , mainly for wading to places or on a beach depends on sea conditions, rip tides etc..nowadays I always wear self inflating lifejacket.

No set up mate. Just interested. Never been fly fishing or ever waded. Just the usual cast from the bank. Never used one of them dirty cheating poles either.
