Long days on the water require the very best fishing sunglasses money can buy. Go cheap and you’ll go disappointed, it’s that simple. All fly fishers are aware that the glare of the sun off water is incredibly powerful and, therefore, incredibly distracting and uncomfortable if not managed well.
The sun is an inescapable intensity, it’s that simple. Particularly in the hours just after dawn and just before sunset – the ideal times of day to catch a big bite – which is exactly when the majority of up to 65% of incoming solar radiation is reflected by the water, due to the slant angle.
But it’s not just about keeping out the sun out for comfort, there are serious health considerations such as premature aging of the eyes, cataracts, eye strain and a whole host of other eye health issues you need to be aware of out on the river.
Harmful effects of UV radiation aside, of course good fishing sunglasses are crucial in the provision of a major strategic benefits as well. Reducing surface glare enables you to look directly into the water and spot trout, track bonefish or throw crankbaits at bass holding at the edge.
Even when you are fishing deep, it’s still a lot of help having good polarise sunglasses for fly fishing, for example if you need to see what’s going on as fish get near the boat or bank - so you can prepare to land it. With a good pair of polarized glasses, you’ll be amazed at the enhanced visibility.
Plus of course good sunglasses also help you guide the boat as you fish, making you more efficient at navigating through the chop and the waves, keeping in tune with the fish. In fact, there’s not much about fly fishing which good polarised sun glasses don’t make much better.
