Fall Fishing Necessities

Fall is coming in hot (quickly) and of course bringing the cold weather, rain, and potentially wind. To cope with these variable conditions there are a few pieces of gear one can purchase to ensure a delightful (warm) season on the water.

Patagonia Tough Puff Hoody $299 – Absolutely the most comfortable sweatshirt I have ever worn. Flexible and unbelievably warm for fishing in the most frigid conditions.

Orvis Fleece Foldover Gloves $24.95 – These are very warm gloves when used as a mitten but when you need to use your hands for tying knots or line management they can accomodate that.

Pro Wading Jacket by Patagonia or Orvis $249 – $399 – A few options here for wading jackets but a nice one is necessary of you are frequently out in the fall where sideways rain or snow can frequently smack ya.

Durable Waders $249 – $599 – Very important on blistery or rainy days. The easiest way to make a cold day of fishing unpleasant is to throw wet feet into the mix.

Base Layer or Insulated Sweat Pants $49 – $179 – Under those fancy pants waders you need some warm fancy pants.
