Hey there davetclown,

Caution: fishing nude may lead to severe sunburn.
Cool fishing clothes: Seen those dressed to the 9's that must have had someone pay for every patch.

Hey Petty4life: What's the difference between a well sponsored nascar and a bass pro's jump suit, hat, and glasses!? ha ha ha

Maybe that's why we like both sooooooooooo well!

[cool][#800000][size 1]Since I wear waders tubing for sure, I don't wear anything made of cotton. In SOCAL this time of the year the mornings are quite cool but as soon as the sun pops out it can warms up in a hurry. I still will wear polyester long johns and a top under my shirt. If I had on under clothes made of cotton I am sure that I would be really uncomfortable. My shirts are long sleeved and vented. The rest is inmaterial since I am wearing waders. As a side note since I have had several episodes of skin cancer I tend to cover up as much as possible. Could use suntan lotion but don't want to transfer that smell to my lures. Something for you younger folks to think about. My doctor indicated that my out door activity [as a young man I worked and played in the sun for many years] was probably a contributing factor to my skin problems. I have black hair and seldom burned - who would have thought. Hey guys better to be safe than sorry.[/size][/#800000]

The clothes don't mean didly squat unless the fisherman has a nice BFT logo on them. Otherwise he/she is just a wannabe. ha ha.

Take a look at the color of fly fishing vests and tell me if they make them in bright colors. I don't think so. For some reason those little earth tones help you blent in a little better around mountain streams and rivers.

I personally shy away form wearing bright clothes while fishing. It's more of a common sense type of thing. If you want the fish to attack your nice shiny spookaflash,squiggly tailed, rattlebonker then you need to be at a neutral contrast to your lures.[cool]

I wear lighter color clothes they are cooler and dark colors are supposed to attrack the skeeters. i don't know if the fish are able to see the brighter colors the water i fish is stained.

I was hiking along a trail above the Green once with my young cousin. I would spot a fish and then tell him to come over and look at it. When he came into view the fish would spook. I was wearing earth toned clothes and he was wearing a red 49ers jersey. It was pretty convincing evidence for me.

For a short time they used to make pink fly vests for women. They might have been fashionable at the time but I don't think they helped the catch rate for those who wore them.
