  • Rain Jacket / Shell: Always a good idea just in case we get some afternoon showers or protection from the wind.
  • Bandana / Cap: Fishing Lids or bandannas are great for keeping the sweat out of your eyes and help you see the water better. Also, great for sun protection!
  • Sunglasses: Polarized are best for fishing as it helps you see into the water to sight fish.
