Clothes and Weather on your Fishing Trip

Weather is always a factor when planning a family camping adventure, a quick hike or a fishing trip in Canada.

Murphy’s Law states: because you have chosen to go fishing, the odds of rain go up.

Check the forecast for weather warning before any fishing trip, but be prepared for rain or shine and chilly cold nights. A small transistor radio may help keep you informed of any approaching bad weather.

One silver lining to a cloudy, rainy day – the fish bite better!

A cheap rain parka folds up as small as a bandana and fits nicely in your Fanny Pack or tackle box.

Stay dry, warm, and protected from the elements. Temperatures range from the low 50’s to the high 90’s during the summer and it is not unusual to experience this change all in one day.

Experienced anglers wear thin layers of clothing, and progress outward to include water and wind protection as the final layer.

Always wear footgear appropriate to the conditions. No sandals or open-toed shoes. Check out these trail running shoes that are ideal for casual hikers and trail running.
