Suggested Fishing Clothes

During early and late season mornings and evenings are quite cool, as to wear a jacket over a thick fleece pullover or polar. Ocassional rains may occur. So bringing a rain jacket will help our anglers in getting more comfortable.

In fact, we suggest you to bring:

• Warm and cold weather clothing.
• Polar fleece underwear (for use as first skin or underwader pants).
• Rain or wading jacket (Goretex is desirable, also to be used as extra layer).
• Comfortable walking or hiking shoes.
• Sun and rain hat.
  

Others

• Breathable waders (Goretex is desirable).
• Strong wading boots.
• Polarized glasses.
• Strong sunscreen (we suggest 30-50x)
• Personal medicine.
• Video and picture camera.
• Personal lantern.
