How to Dress for Fly Fishing




With warmer weather conditions rolling in, now is the perfect time to talk about how you can comfortably dress for your next fly fishing trip. While your outfit is ultimately up to you, there are a few things you should take note of before heading out. This is especially true if you plan on fly fishing for most of the day. The last thing you want to be is uncomfortable when you’re trying to enjoy a fun filled day of fly fishing.

Some people are tempted to wear shorts while fly fishing, but that is not always the best option. The sun and insects can be harmful to your legs, so if you choose shorts you’ll want to bring along some sunscreen and repellent. If you choose to wear pants, you can go for a nylon pair that will both cover your legs and keep you cool.

Another common mistake is to wear flip flops on a hot day. Unfortunately, while flip flops may be perfect for the beach, they aren’t quite suited for fly fishing. You’ll likely be standing and walking on wet surfaces, and most flip flops have no traction whatsoever. You also don’t want to have soaked feet the entire day. When it comes to footwear, your best option is to choose some type of wading boots.

For shirts, most button down or t-shirts are fine, but you may want to wear a vest or something with a few more pockets. Being prepared is always a good idea, especially during long fly fishing trips

With the right attire, you can make sure you have a comfortable and successful experience!
