Wearing Camouflage on the Stream
I am a firm believer in stacking all of the odds in your favor when hitting the stream. Making sure that I am wearing drab colors is just one thing that I do to keep myself out of the trouts eye.

When choosing a fishing shirt, there are so many colors to choose from. Remember, the pretty blue one that you fancy so much might not be the best color for the streamside fishing. I like to try to either wear a beige or olive shirt. These are two colors that blend in with nearly every surrounding.

If you want to take the shirt to a whole other level, Aqua Designs has a full line up of camouflage shirts, which are lightweight and easily dried. They are perfect for fly fishing. They have a darker green camouflage and a lighter brown camouflage. I would never go to the stream without them.

When fishing tough streams like the Letort or Falling Springs, where stalking trout involves crawling around in the grass, the aid of camouflage goes a long way towards being un-noticed.

Vests and raincoats with orange in them are a no go for sure. Make sure that your raincoat and vest are also made from Earth toned materials. Bright orange is easily seen by fish and on a stream where the trout can be skittish, un-familiar colors can be a warning to your presence.

I believe that being successful on the stream is a game of percentages. If wearing the proper clothing is only 3 percent of the equation, its worth it!

Below are the two Aqua Designs shirts that I wear.



I went to look on the Simms site and I noticed that a number of items that were orange in color are no longer there
